Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) is a system that Dodge began in 1996 on California trucks only. It basically takes the exhaust gas and routs some of it back into the intake manifold to dilute the fresh air coming in. This reduces the amount of combustion by limiting the amount of air. That also reduced power output and fuel economy but improved the emission test results. As far as a Temperature sensor on the ERG system I do not know of one.

The Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) is an after market application that is very popular with performance modifications. There is a sensor installed in the exhaust system, usually in the exhaust manifold before the turbo (pre turbo), or just after the turbo (post turbo). This is used to keep the engine in a safe temperature range. 1400 degrees max for pre turbo, 1200 max for post turbo. It is also recommended to idle the truck until the EGT is below 300 degrees before turning it off.
