If it were your ring and pinion it would have a clunk sound and VERY distinct!Not only would you here it but,would feel the truck have a hard metal jolt.I have had this and replaced my r/p busted gears.Anyway checking the egr is easy and has 3 ten mm bolts,one vac line,one electrical plug.Remove and note the gskt position on this,and clean with carb cleaner and a toothbrush and remove the carbon buildup.Reinstall and making sure your carb is clean and linkage is FREE moving and lube with graphite powder and or liquid wrench(my choices) on the cables and hi idle kick down arm.Unless you some blockage from your charge air filters(inside air cleaner) from charge air hoses(3 of those) on top and or maybe blocked pre -cat convertor below exhaust manifold or blocked up cat under the truck.Any air restriction would choke truck or cough it.I do not want to over load you with info but,just some suggestions that may OR may not come into play.Sounds like it has a hiccup and EGR may be the real problem with those rpms since it fits the idea.
