EBP sensor and tube question
On my '97 daily driver, the EBP tube runs up behind the HPO resevoir, and the sensor is mounted at the top of the resevoir. On the '97 truck I'm using as the donor for my cc, the EBP tube goes in front of the resevoir, and the mount for the sensor is on the cover you remove to get to the gear bolt for the HPOP. I looked at the '94.5 and Tyler's '97, and they are both like my '97 daily driver, with the sensor up on top and behind the resevoir. The '97 donor truck is the odd one. Why would it be different? Was that configuration specific to a certain year, and if so, I wonder if the engine has been changed in the donor.......

On the 02 Superduty I changed an HPOP on recently, the EBP was mounted as you describe. I think my 97 is like your's, but I can't recall for certain. My thought is that the the style was swapped to the new style(either broken, or just wanted a new one instead of cleaning it etc.), or they swapped in a SD motor.

I thought maybe that was it, so out of curiosity, I went out and looked at the dates a few minutes ago. My DD is 4/97, Tyler's '97 is 5/97, and the donor truck is 6/97. So I guess that was the changing point.

Thanks bud!
By the build dates on the three '97s here, it is 6/97 or later. I'll have to start looking at the dates when I'm looking at parts trucks!
