EBPV problem

[flashf3]

Hello All,
I am a 18 yr army vet that just bought an E99 F350 Dually with the 6-speed manual...I am new to these powerstroke diesels. Is there anyway to bypass the EBPV under the turbo with a fooler (ie. resistor or etc) if so what size? I have just recently ordered a T500 HPOP for my truck also...a diesel mechanic said that my stock aint keeping up 574 cranking 934 wot.

Thanks

You can just unplug it. Its the yellow, two wire plug with a metal wire clip at the top of the turbo pedestal. It will throw a code, but it is a soft code and wont turn on the light. Mine was unpluged for years cause it would turn on while going down the road

**** that. wire it to a switch and use as an exhaust brake. hands down the best mod i've done to mine.

is there a thread to wire it up as an exhaust brake? just splice in a switch, or do you need to add power to it?

I drew this up real quick



The colors are not right, but it dosen't matter because the polarity wont make a differance. You have to cut the factory wiring harness and then splice in your wiring.

looks easy enough thanks!!! i wonder if there is a switch i can mount to the floor to use like the old tractor trailers used for their jakes... that'd be pretty handy for the mountains around here... if i tackle that i'll throw some pics up...

Get a high/low beam switch out of an OBS! They mount to the floor, and would work GREAT!

Don't get too excited. Mine dosen't work well (really at all) as an exhaust brake. I think the OBS trucks work better for an exhaust brake.

They work fairly well as a exhaust brake. I have done 29k over a few passes and it was defiantly worth having.
