Atlas won. I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged. Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed. Made my day. Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again. -

Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation. -
With this new pan, do you still use the same procedure to check the level? Its a deeper pan and our trucks do not have a fill tube/dipstick. So fill till fluid runs out the check plug? -

On mine? Yes. But I did it rather expensively. I had Deaver Springs make new rear springs with a 2" lower arch and then removed the nearly 2 inch thick spring to axle spacer. The front is Bell Tech 2" drop knuckles. Rear shocks, stock, were several inches over mid stroke so when I bought the King shocks I used the OEM length with the drop to put it at dead mid stroke. Fronts are King Coil Over OEM replacements with 600# springs. Again sits mid stroke. Deaver, King Suspension and Ben at Filthy Motorsports were all involved. Lots of measurements and lots of conferences but it came out spot on first time around. The 2" I link I sent you would use the factory shocks and coil overs or any other OEM type replacement units you like. I assumed from your thread that keeping the factory feel and ride quality was likely. My project intended to change the very nature of the beast and it did.
