2000 Ranger with egr problem!!
my son has a 2000 ranger 4x4 with a 3.0 engine...recently swapped the engine...put a 98 model 3.0 engine...truck has been running great...last night it started blowing the rubber vacuum lines that run from the egr tube to the dpfe sensor....changed out the sensor with the one from te old engine...seems like their is way too much pressure coming from the vacuum tubes...any ideas what is causing this?

Looking at the nice pictorial Rockledge posted, is it the up & down stream hoses going to the DPFE sensor that are giving trouble???? If so, maybe suspect the orifice pictured between the two is blocked, forcing more exhaust gas to go into the DPFE sensor. That'll cook that puppy too, so it needs to be put right pronto.

An EGR valve failed shut would probably cause similar symptoms, but again, in such case we have to assume it would be throwing a code.
Here's a few good links to review to maybe come up with more ideas:

Put a simple pressure gauge on the line that is blowing off and see what kinda of pressure you are getting. Anything much over 1-1.5 psi at idle is to high. anything over 3 psi at 2000 rpm is to high. I saw 4.5 psi on an Expedition the other day and after we changed the cat the old one showed signs of having melted. And it wasn't running bad at idle but had a vibration and miss like condtion at speed. Even if the egr wasn't opening it shouldn't blow the hose off because the egr isn't open all the time anyway.

Just wanted to report that the problem is solved....the cat was stopped up...cut it off and it was clogged up...put new dual exhaust with flowmaster 44's...never knew a 3.0 could sound so mean...no more problems with it blowing the hoses off and runs 150% better..i never realized how much power loss there was..weird thing is it never ran hot or threw a CEL!! Thanks for the great info from everyone.

WAIT!!!! Your not finished yet!!!!
You really need to find out Why the cat melted down & clogged up!!!!
Usually it's from a messed up air/fuel ratio, so imo you need to look deeper into why the cat went belly up!!!!
Maybe consider getting a scantool that can read PID's on the computer & have a look at the short & long term fuel trim figures & maybe the PID's for the MAF & O2 sensors & maybe a fuel pressure & pressure leakdown test.
More thoughts for pondering.
