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.

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.
