EBPS tube missing.

Howdy y'all,

I have a '99 F250 SD 7.3 & im going on a trip next weekend so I thought I'd pull the exhaust pressure sensor & clean the tube in an attempt to get better mileage. Found the sensor & unplugged it. Went to the manifold & started removing the tube when it fell off. 6" from the manifold it's broke & the rest is completely missing.

Autozone doesn't carry this tube so, how important is this sensor?

That is a good question, mine was the same way when I replaced it and I didn't find a noticeable change when I fixed it. RiffRaff would be your best place to get it for price and fast service.

Some guys delete them and plug the manifold. I would fix it. So also say an improvement in MPG when it's right. So it's up to you. Sounds like you've been running without it and not knowing it.

Thanks Walleye,
I was looking at this one,

I've read that cleaning this tube can improve mpg & a little HP improvement. Being that I don't have one at all I'm hoping for a good increase in mpg.

The consensus on here is OEM sensors only. They do cost more in the short run but aftermarket sensors have proven to be problematic.
