No power on lower settings. Spartan Tuned

So a little history. Truck is a 08' job 3 that has been Spartan tuned since day one. 78000 miles now. Mostly run on 275.
I updated last spring to the new version 275 and all the tunes offered. When I did that I lost the EGRT? sensor for my exhaust temps. Well it took me a year to finally get around to sending them an email to get it working again.
So now I have the sensor back but it sounds as if the sensor is bad as it will not move in temps.
Now the problem. When I loaded the new config file and themes I loaded the 275 tune with it. I had been running the 210 tow tune prior to this. Everything was fine minus I cannot tell how hot the exhaust was.
Well I went back to the 210 tow tune and it had about half power. So I tried the 210 tow, the 210, stock dpf off, 150, and all of them are about 50% of power including the stock tune (let me tell you how fun that was to drive around)!
Everything looks fine as far as numbers are concerned but, when I bring up fuel load it says that it is asking for reduced power.
I then reloaded the 275 tune and she runs fine.
Any ideas to help me out?
Thanks ahead of time!

Its certainly the EGRTA sensor. Any tunes 210HP and below rely on the sensor for fueling control and will cut power substantially without a proper reading. Will be the same for a stock tune likewise.

Sensor swap should solve the problem for you.

Awesome Matt thank you!

Did I mention that I pull up to 30k behind this truck and the tranny is still holding strong?
I have now doubled the miles both my Dodges Transmissions lasted pulling the same weight! Impressive tuning to say the least!
