I'm in Northern Michigan. Mine started at temps of 30ish. Lacking the usual power and mileage has bottomed out.

Winter blend lends to it, but I've been attacking every possibility.

Changed oil. I run synthetic rotella.
Changed fuel filter. Looked good.
Replaced ebpv tube and cleaned sensor.

I ordered up a new sensor the other day. Due in Saturday. We'll see?.......

I disconnected the selonoid at the turbo pedestal and it went away but I'm starving for cab heat so I need the system working properly.

If it's not the sensor, I'm stumped.

(along with everyone else)

I can mail you my old sensor if there is no change and you can try that without bucking up.

FYI,

Changed out the sensor today.

Truck is getting 16 city on the overhead display vs 7.1. Haven't hand calced it yet but the life is back. Idle is normal and life seems good here.

I'll ship my old one to you free, but I'm thinkin my sensor took a sheeeit.

Just sayin.

Have you tried cleaning the EBP sensor electrical connector?

Or its possible the heat cycle swing from recent low temperatures to engine operating temp has damaged the diaphragm in sensor making it brittle and hard or possibly cracked. Pull it apart and have a look at it.
