Where is DPFE?
Where is DPFE located in a '96 F150 5.0L? I can't find it in the Haynes Manual. Does it have an alternative name?
Thanks

The DPFE sensor is attached to the EGR tube via a pair of smaller tubes so you should be able to locate it by tracing those.

The silicone tubes running to the DPFE are known to deteriorate over time. The small leakage will affect the way the DPFE measures the difference in pressure. The EGR tube is also known to crack and leak or clog up with deposits.Both of which can also trigger EGR related codes.

Found it. Thank you all so much. Also I found another thread that explained how to test it and I tested and I am not getting any change in voltage with vacuum. It is stuck at 0.28 volts. So I am going to replace it and see if the P0401 code goes away.

Don't know what thread the earlier poster was referring to, but here is a thread on testing the EGR/DPFE system; Part 2 -How to Test the Ford EGR Valve and DPFE Sensor
