Welcome to guzzle's Exhaust Backpressure Sensor Cleaning Maintenance Web Page
That can cause a big drop in fuel economy, and the valve definitely shouldn't be moving at nearly 80 degrees. I suspect your sensor may be bad, but give that tube cleaning a try. I'm not sure if that affects the butterfly valve at the outlet, but it's worth a shot.

where is this tube and sensor?
I would like to clean mine just to see, since my truck has 160k it is a year 2000 engine
also why do people "gut" the ebpv? what are the benefits?

The sensor is on the front of the engine. The tube wraps around the engine from the sensor to the passenger side manifold.

As far as benefits, less reistriction, no more oil leak or sticky valve potential, and lower EGT's. You can't use it as an exhaust brake any longer, but other than that, you probably wouldn't miss it.

It's really easy. The way I did it was I got some speedo cable from autozone for $8 and a can of brake cleaner. Put the speedo cable in a drill and put the speedo cable in the tube. Worked great.
