Either the DPFE or carbon built up under the EGR valve in the passages.

EGE tube clear in both lines to the DPFE and to the EGR valve. On the DPFE I am showing 5.0 volts on the sig and ref of the harness even when the truck is cold.

You have to remove the valve to check this.

Turn out to be carbon between egr and throttle body. For which I removed all and cleaned throughly with brake clean and replaced throttle body to intake gasket. Thanks for all the advice.
