EBP sensor issues

So I pulled my EBP sensor & tube today to do the clean out & found a large gash in the tube it's self. So bad that while I was inspecting the tube it just kinda fell apart lol. So I've read alot on here about how a pluged sensor or tube can affect fuel milage but how about one with a large hole in it? Also I won't be able to get a new one for a few days so can I still drive the truck without the tube or sensor hooked up?

Just unplug the sensor, shifts will be a little firm, but it's fine to drive.

Clay has the tubes and sensors, if you didn't know.

Thanks BigAl. Ya I'm gonna call my dealer tomorrow & see if they just happen to have one & which arm & leg they want for it lol. If they are not to much I'll pick one up, otherwise I'm gonna order one from Clay. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't gonna hurt anything to drive it a few days unhooked.
