Your computer might not know it's there.
You might try a re-boot by disconnecting the negative battery cable for 20 minutes, turning the headlight switch on for a second to be sure nothing is holding a charge like a capacitor, then re-connect the battery cable and test ride.

Yes sir I did that . Seem to run ok at low speeds getting on the freeway it cuts out tranny shift down and then it bogs down. Get off gas tranny shift back up but still no power.

Re: New EGR Valve

Is the Check Engine light on?
It sorta sounds like low fuel pressure too.
