How to test the EBPV sensor?
Does anyone know how to test the EBPV sensor? I will be replacing the EBPV tube soon and have read that sometimes a bad sensor will cause poor fuel mileage as well. I would just buy one if they were cheap, but the ones I found are almost $100!

If you get a bluetooth adapter and the torque pro app for your phone you can test a whole host of sensors on your truck. I found an adapter for $11 that works just fine and the app is $6. So for less than $20 you can test the EBP sensor and many others, trouble shoot issues, and save yourself lots of money by not replacing parts that are not bad.
This is the adapter I'm using. Was skeptical at first that it would work for the price but it does.
When I found mine it was 10.99 with free shipping. There are a bunch of sellers offering the same item and prices are all over the place.

Slightly off topic, but I keep reading about people replacing their EBPS tube and am surprised. Mine is stainless and I can't imagine ever having to replace it (clean, yes). Do other trucks not have stainless tubes?

Sometimes they crack - stainless doesn't flex without problems because it's so brittle. There are also times when the soot is compacted and it doesn't clean out.
