High Idle setting and EBPV????

[Cdizzle]

Tested out the High Idle setting on my new TS today.. after about 30 Seconds of running the EBPV kicked on.. Is it ok to leave the high idle on and run with the EBPV? I hate the sound of that thing and it makes me think my truck is falling apart Any helpful insight?

I have done it for the past couple winters and have had no issues so far.

Can you just unplug the EBPV??? will it stay wide open then?? mine sticks alittle untill the truck is at normal operating temp and it sounds horrible!!! LOL Where is it plugged in if you can just unplug it??

You guys don't like the sound? I like to hear it when I fire it up cold and it thinks its warming up.

Mine doesn't do it when its idleing just when your driving. quits when you push on the peddle hard but easing into it it comes on.

yeah you can unplug it or hook it up as a jake brake. No issues with high idle and it coming on

Ok thanks. I just hate that sound. I find it very annoying. Is it very hard to disconnect the EBPV?

[kramarj]

The plug for the EBPV is on the compressor housing, right under the intake.

What kramarj said.
Disconecting it will throw a soft code, meaning no CEL but a code will be stored. Not a huge issue, most trucks that have issues with EBPV opening/closing will be throwing this code anyways.
