I recently had the hose that blow exhaust to my DPFE sensor break off. The result was a mini blow torch against my upper intake manifold thus a hole the size of your finger.
All this means a new upper intake, new DPFE sensor and new set of the hoses up from ehaust to the sensor.
Does any body know if the metel DPFE sensor is a better choice over the black plastic one? It seems, if mine would have been metal it might not have broke off where the hose attaches as it did.
Also does anyone have any thoughts to as why this would would happen. It appears that ehaust was to hot for the rubber hose to handle. This must be one of Fords brighter ideas here.
Lastly does anybody sell these hoses besides the dealer? At $20 buck a pop somebodys makeing a killing.
