EBP Sensor Issues

L99 CCLB 6 speed F350.
I've got an issue with my EBP sensor reading... I've changed the tube, cleaned the fittings, changed the sensor 3x, and changed the connector. For some reason, the sensor is biased high by 4-5 PSI, but works normally otherwise. (I.e. reads backpressure changes fine.) at koeo, the baro and map both read the same, while the ebp sensor reads that same 4-5 PSI higher. Anybody have any ideas? I'm stumped at this point.

What brand of sensor are you using? Most have no luck with aftermarket sensors on these rigs, OEM only.......

Good catch. I'll have to put an OEM one on! Tried them from both local parts houses. One was a BWD, and the brand of the other is escaping me at the moment. Both read the same, do you think that an OEM would change by that much?

The 7.3 is notorious for wanting OEM sensors. I replaced my EBP sensor with an OEM from RiffRaff a while back and it has been spot on since.
