Product Description
The DORMAN 598-167 EXHAUST BACK PRESSURE SENSOR & TUBE is a direct-fit replacement designed for 2008-2010 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty trucks equipped with the 6.4L Powerstroke diesel engine. This complete kit includes both the exhaust back pressure sensor and the connecting tube assembly to restore accurate exhaust pressure readings and proper engine performance.
Over time, factory EBP tubes commonly become clogged with soot and carbon buildup, while sensors can fail from excessive heat and contamination. Replacing both components together helps restore turbocharger response, improve regeneration operation, reduce diagnostic trouble codes, and maintain proper engine management system performance.
The Dorman 598-167 kit is engineered as a direct OE-style replacement for simple installation using factory mounting locations and connectors.

WHY REPLACE THE EBP SENSOR & TUBE?
The exhaust back pressure system is critical for turbocharger control, EGR operation, emissions performance, and regeneration functions on the 6.4L Powerstroke engine. Carbon buildup inside the tube or a failed sensor can trigger check engine lights, poor turbo response, rough operation, and drivability issues. Replacing both parts together helps restore accurate exhaust pressure readings and proper engine management operation.

FAQ
What does the exhaust back pressure sensor do?
The EBP sensor monitors exhaust pressure levels so the engine control system can properly manage turbocharger operation, EGR functions, and regeneration processes.
Why should the EBP tube be replaced with the sensor?
The factory tube commonly becomes clogged with soot and carbon buildup, which can cause inaccurate readings even when installing a new sensor.
Will this fit all 6.4L Powerstroke trucks?
Yes. Dorman 598-167 is designed for 2008-2010 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 trucks equipped with the 6.4L Powerstroke diesel engine.
Can a failed EBP sensor cause a check engine light?
Yes. A failed or clogged EBP sensor system can trigger check engine lights, turbo performance issues, regeneration problems, and drivability concerns.
