Hello guys. I was hoping someone could help me out.
I have a 97 ford f350 4door dually / e4od.

I was trying to hook a switch up for the ebpv today but I could not get it to work.
I tried hooking it to a switch - I also tried running the wire straight to the battery. I tested with the truck running.

The bar that runs to the valve (under the turbo) never moved. I can hear a single click sound when I apply power but nothing happens.

Can someone help me out- tell me what maybe going on and things to check.

 

What controls the movement to the (Arm) to the butterfly under the turbo.

I thought it was this- Exhaust Back Pressure Regulator. I hope not its 500$.

Please someone help.

 

The actuator arm is moved by oil pressure in the turbo pedestal. What wires are you putting power to? Honestly, I wouldn't even worry about try to make it work. Most of us completely delete the EBPV anyway

 

I dislike the ebpv. disconnected and one of these days itll get gutted comppletly.

 

Are you trying to make it into a brake?

 

Yes sir - Im trying to do the brake mod.
I have a tq switch and everything wired - just trying to get the ebpv to work.

 

If you have a auto learn how to use exhaust brake cause you can burn the coast clutches

 

I cant burn it up if you dont tell me how to fix!!!

Noted I will look around.

 

The solenoid in the pedestal is probably bad.

Did you have the truck running?

 

I hate that F@*$ing thing. thanks for reminding me to go unplug that stupid thing before winter hits.

 

Yes I did have to running. You can hear a slight click like something is trying to happen but thats it. What does it take to repair/replace the solenoid.

THanks.

 

Because im not looking at a diagram..when the key is on does one wire have 5v? Or 12v?
I would guess one to have a constant supply and the pcm will ground the other to actuate the ebpv. how are you wiring it?
I sure havent heard of anyone using one with any success for any amount of time.
i hope you have a tight set if up pipes.I would think this will destroy all but the best sealed set.

 

Did you look here before starting another thread???
