Welcome to FTE. Don't be scared to chime in or ask any questions.

Since you didn't tell us what code you're getting I'll just give you a link for cleaning the EBP tube which is somewhat of a common issue. Welcome to guzzle's Exhaust Backpressure Sensor Cleaning Maintenance Web Page

If that doesn't help or you need any more info just let us know.

if you look in the front of the motor its just in the fron of it, it has pipe going to it from the passenger side manifold, if you follow that pipe you find the sensor, if you going to replace it get the pipe to if its rusted. you can try to clean it with trimer line

If you are standing in front of the truck, its toward the top front of the motor a little to the left. You will have to pull the tube off of the passenger side manifold and check it and the sensor for soot, it can get clogged up and sometimes the tube will develope a hole, or in my case break in half.

I replaced my tube recently, ford bends the new ones slightly different now
