Can I drive normally with a bad EGR valve?
A few weeks ago when my truck was getting serviced the mechanic read a code saying my EGR valve was bad. He decided to clean it off and put new o-rings on it as well as unplugging it. He told me I could be able to drive with the bad valve although I could lag on power at times. I asked him if it could cause more damage he said it shouldn't now we have made a temporary fix to it and unplugged the system.
Can anyone please give me feedback to what I should do?

I had the same issue, I cleaned mine and it opens and closes freely but still throwing the code, I unplugged it and it drives just fine as is, I have been told by others that they have gone 200k on theirs unplugged, I also heard that 9 out of 10 times cleaning them they will still not work, and I dont care to spend $200+ on a new one if unplugging it works, I just have the cel light on but oh well.
