It flashed a trouble code of EGR, When I consulted a Haynes Repair Manual my engine does not have the egr location or a discernible egr placement at all like the book shows. So where is the egr and what does it look like? There is no chance of an engine swap. It came from the dealer as is, V8 engine.

If you are standing in the front of the engine, It will be the big round object sticking up in the front of the left valve cover. It will have a pipe hooked to it that goes to the exhaust manifold. It also has a electrical connector hooked to it. May even be a vacuum hose hooked to it too. It is not in or on the valve cover, it's in the front of it close to the fan shroud. Here are the locations of the valve (below) for all engines with a video on how to test them
