EBPV

[rmb1393]

Hello guys, the past couple morning have been cold, snowy, and windy...my ebpv keeps opening and closing when idling and I think its time to either get rid of it or do some maintenance. Recommendations on how to do maintenance? Never done it before. Or just a new pedestal? Thanks guys!

How cold does it get there? I would get rid of it and if you are worried about cold starts plug your truck in over night with a timer to turn it on a few hours before you leave.

You can find delete kits on ebay for about $150.

i removed mine completely, placed a bolt that didn't protrude into the exhaust passage and welded it in there, as for the pedestal, gutted and tapped the hole and used a bolt with sealant, theres a video on youtube, thats where i got my idea.

I'm leaning more toward either gutting it like your saying or installing a switch to be able to turn off the signal to the EBPV. Do you think a simple switch would work or do i need to go through the gutting process?

You could just unplug it. Just throws a soft code.

One time my wife came in and said "dude your old truck sounds like its catching on fire" when exhaust back pressure valve was going

Just unplug it you can get a plug to put in the sensor wire to fool the computer so it wont throw a code that's all I did she still idles up when cold but the ebpv doesn't operate.
