Adding EGR?

[4pointslow]

I need an EGR system for a LS swap I am planning.
So far my specs are
12200411 PCM
5.3 LM7
Drive by cable
4L60e
4x4


I think I am looking for a bin file for preferably OS 12212156 that has an EGR system monitor in it.
The BIN files I have obtained like the 2002 Chevrolet Silverado Truck Auto LM7 5.3L (12212156) look like they don't have the monitor. (even with the egr system being changed to "enabled", using Tuner pro)
Let me try to explain,
I am using an Autel AL-319(can also use OBD Link software) to see if the monitors are there, they show as not ready or not available.
If they are not available, it seems as though the PCM with that OS doesn't have that monitor.
If they are not ready the monitor seems to be there but just not run yet (of course).

Only BIN I have found with EGR monitor in it has been for a different operating system (2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO (OS 12205612) that doesn't have a known good XDF file to support it.
It did prove to me that the Autel AL-319 will show the monitor as not ready if it is in there and enabled.

Am I going about this wrong? I do see 1999-2002 Chevy truck (IE Suburban) engines with egr systems on them, on EBay so I know they exist.

Well,
I found a file named 12202088_1GKEK13T31J000000 that has the EGR monitor enabled.
And the XDF file is named 12202088_release

So this is a 12202088 operating system which is supposed to be from 2001 model year.
Now I have to figure out if it has all the correct stuff in it for my 5.3 LM7/4L60e/4x4 and drive by cable, and the Vin attached to the file is bogus so I cannot use that for correct information.
I assume there might be a way to figure it all out but I am still learning (as always). Maybe by the segment numbers?
Any help to speed up my learning curve is appreciated. LOL.

Update,
I found a program called Universal Patcher that shows information in the BIN file easy enough for me to understand.
It shows this:
Platform = GMT800 (Silverado)
Drivetrain Type = 4WD (ATC)
Engine Identifier = 5.3L
Transmission Type = 4L60e

And it shows this:
OS PN: 12202088, Ver: BB, Nr: 1[0000 - 04FF, 0500 - 3FFF, 20000 - 7FFFD], Size: 63FFE
EngineCal PN: 9357822, Ver: AB, Nr: 2[8000 - 13FFF], Size: C000
EngineDiag PN: 9362525, Ver: AC, Nr: 3[14000 - 16DFF], Size: 2E00
TransCal PN: 16264214, Ver: BG, Nr: 4[16E00 - 1BDFF], Size: 5000
TransDiag PN: 16264334, Ver: BA, Nr: 5[1BE00 - 1C7FF], Size: A00
Fuel PN: 16264549, Ver: BD, Nr: 6[1C800 - 1E51F], Size: 1D20
System PN: 9373491, Ver: AL, Nr: 7[1E520 - 1EE9F], Size: 980
Speedometer PN: 9359144, Ver: AY, Nr: 8[1EEA0 - 1EF9F], Size: 100
Eeprom_data PN: 9386530, Ver: DFNN [4000 - 7FFF], Size: 4000
Hardware 9386530

So I think I have my base tune now.

Update,
I just wanted to add some information, so I don't forget.

2001 operating systems that I have found with EGR monitors in them
12202088
12208322

For 2002 I have found this operating system that does NOT have an EGR monitor in it.
12212156

I don't know if it is the operating system itself that has or doesn't have the EGR monitor in it, or if it is the calibration segment for the engine or engine diagnostics.
I would have to find a 12202088 or 12208322 WITHOUT an EGR monitor in it, or a 12212156 WITH an EGR monitor in it to answer that question I guess.
Maybe in the future I will come across one of these but if not then I might assume that there wasn't an EGR system monitor in 2002 due to changes allowing GM to skip installing an EGR system on them.

12212156 came with EGR from the factory. 2002 Express application.

Thanks! Maybe I can test a Chevy Express Van BIN and see if the monitor shows just not ready as opposed to not available for the EGR monitor.

I just compared a bin for a 2002 2500 Express 5.3 and a bin for a 2002 Silverado 5.3. I used a tool to compare the data from 0x1FFFF (the end of the calibration section) till the end of the bin and it found no differences.

When you tried to activate the EGR on the other file, did you populate all tables and the DTCs as well?

I'm attaching both files for reference.

Thanks! I will test that Express BIN you posted.
I saw no difference in the bins I tested too, I wonder if it is in the diagnostic segment only? If that makes sense?
All I know for sure is the Autel AL-319 or OBDLink and laptop show Not available for the EGR monitor with 2002 O/S 12212156 as opposed to not ready with the 2001 BINS.
I am going to test the Express one you posted, might be what I need. Thanks!
