I lived in Anchorage, Alaska when I deleted my ebpv and air intake heater. Never had any problems as long as I plugged it in at night. After a 10-12 hour shift I would just baby it until the engine warmed up a little. I just hated driving and the ebpv closing and feeling like it was sapping the power a little.

It gives you a convenient place to put a reducing bushing for a boost gauge fitting. And you probably have a better chance of getting hit by an ocean liner on a freeway in Nebraska than you do of having the thing actually ever activate. I thought about having it activate with the glow plugs, but in the end I just removed it and plugged the port.

The bottom of this page explains the AIH. RiffRaff also sells the plug, and i've read that a cummings oil drain plug also fits.

I got a plain steel plug at a hydraulics shop for a few bucks for mine. I don't remember for sure, but I want to say it's an M22 x 1.5 mm.

I've never worked on a cummings so i really don't know. But if you have it lying around it's easy to find out.

Some people on other forums are claiming that if you plug the pedestal and don't go with a blank one it will starve the turbo from oil. That doesn't add up to me because all I'm doing is gutting the pedestal oil flows through it regardless..... Or am I missing something? I'm going to see if this cummins oil pan plug works here in a second.
