I actually found a post from someone who was having a similar problem. I haven't been able to test it to see if swapping the vacuum reservoir fixes it. I've been focusing on stripping all my new parts off my other truck. I'll clear the memory and drive it around with the reservoir from my parts truck and report my results.

Cleared the codes by pulling jumper wire while codes were being pulled. Drove it about 15 minutes and the code 32 is the only one back as of now. Looked it up and found orc EVP voltage below closed limit. Could a vacuum leak cause that or should I check the actual connector going to the egr?

No, vacuum cannot affect voltage. Try NOT to disturb the connector unless absolutely necessary. If the connector is the problem, disconnecting it or even trying can cause it to temporarily work again, making diagnosis harder.
Re-read that DLC caption (in post #3) a few times. There's no point diagnosing a fault code that may not exist. If you read the codes correctly, you'll get a group (maybe only 1 code, or several); they'll be repeated; there will be a ~6-sec pause, a flash (NOT code "1"), another ~6-sec pause; & another group, which will be repeated; and then the light will stop flashing.
The first step in diagnosing any code is to confirm that the indicated condition actually exists. Use pierce probes on the EVP & SIGRET wires near the EEC to measure DCVolts with a digital multimeter (DMM) with the key in RUN (engine off or on shouldn't matter). Read these captions:
