so, i'm gonna do the ebpv brake. i warmed up my truck this morning. ebpv didnt didnt actuate at all. listened the whole time. i checked today, and the sensor is $150 so i think i will go with the ebpv brake for $15 instead. my idea: to incorperate a good toggle switch, and run hotwire from battery, with inline 15 or 20 amp fuse, and use butt connectors with shrink wrap. MY QUESTION: which wire to cut on connector and where, and how do i hook it all up. will my idea work? all help appreciated!

In that write up there are a wrong connection for automatics, the updated diagram is here:

this is the diagram.

 

why cant i just use an on/off toggle switch, and run hot&ground from batt with inline fuse?

 

the yellow wire under dash...how do i jump into it? dont say head first either lol.

 

you can do a toggle if you don't want the EBPV to operate normally or be operated by the brake pedal.

 

all i want is to warm up fast, when i want it to warm up. and, to flip on occasion for the sound =) when cruising

 

so how do i? forgive my stupidity....and anxiety....i plan to do it in the morning. already in garage

 

I KNOW!! MY dad has the best the idea! i'm gonna whittle down a peg and drill a small hole through it to reieve a lil pressure, and drive it in my tail pipe every morning after i start it, till it warms up! thats easy and no wiring to frig up! lol

 

I guess you got the idea by now by the PM's feel free tpo ask here or PM me. BTW it is the wire with a red tracer for the hot wire and plug it back in to complete the circuit. PM me and I will give you my #.

Ditto. Folllowing in his footsteps. Thanx

 

TJ, what do you mean this? I've never been sure if mine is working properly.

When I step on the brake pedal to slow down, the engine RPM drops to idle almost immediately. Is that what the EBPV does? Is mine working properly?

 

no, the ebpv to act as a brake has to be jury(or other word of choice) rigged to do so. that is the diesels normal back pressure. it should hold itself back some, through the tranny, and the natural slowing of the engine. stock, the EBPV only aids in warm-up
