Where is the EGR valve located in a 1999 Chevy K1500 truck?

The EGR valve on a 1999 Chevy K1500 (assuming it has the common 5.7L or 7.4L engine) is generally located on the intake manifold. However, its exact position varies slightly depending on the specific engine and modifications.

To locate it precisely:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource. The manual should have diagrams showing the location of major components.

2. Look near the intake manifold: It's typically on top or to the side of the intake manifold, relatively easily accessible once you've removed some air intake components. It's often a small, rectangular or cylindrical valve with a vacuum line connected to it.

3. Use online resources: Search for "1999 Chevy K1500 [engine size] EGR valve location" on Google Images. You may find pictures of the engine bay showing the valve's location.

Caution: Working on your engine requires mechanical aptitude. If you're unsure of what you're doing, it's best to take your truck to a qualified mechanic. Improperly handling engine components can lead to damage or injury.
