Someone else was saying if you simply plug the hole where the actuator rod comes out of the pedestal all the oil that will fill the gutted ebpv would starve the turbo?.... But alright what you said makes way more sense and I remember reading what you said on that link aswell. I'm simply plugging the hole where the rod comes out of the pedestal and plugging the AIH port aswell. Someone decided to scrap my cummins pan though so I had to buy a little plug but that's all done now.

Yes I was referring to the ebpv but I figured it out. I was just making sure it's ok to simply plug the hole on the pedestal where the rod comes out of.

So I see where removing the AIH increases air flow. Didn't see it anywhere in this thread, so what are the reasons/benefits for deleting the EBPV...is it simply robbing power and fuel when it is in use, or some other reason to delete it?

It took me a minute to figure out what he meant in that post too.

My reasons are because my shaft that comes out of the pedestal to engage disengage the ebpv is leaking oil. So since I had to replace my oil pan why not fix the ebpv. But yes the ebpv also robs mpgs and power when it is active. The biggest reason for deleting though is because it's simply another spot to leak oil. I wasn't aware that the AIH is worthless so I'm deleting that for the heck of it since my truck is apart.

I rebuilt my EBPV actuator with a kit off of DieselOrings.com about 3 years ago. So far so good. Just in case you have it in the back of your mind that you might wan't to hold on to it.
I really don't see that much of a drain on my mileage when my EBPV is active. Cause once the engine is up to temp it stays open. So I wonder if maybe you have a bad EBP sensor. If i remember right, that does have an effect on your mileage. Do you have a scan tool?

I don't remember how mine was after the rebuild. But it definitly didn't have as much slop and play after the rebuild as it did before. Does it atleast go back to the open position on it's own? But if it's leaking, then it needs to be rebuilt. Or deleted.

Did the rod extended back out on its own? No it didn't. Mine was leaking aswell. I'll post the results after I get it back together maybe it's been broken this whole time?! I will say though. I noticed once in a while even on 70-80 degree days the ebpv kicked on when I first started the truck but when I hit the brake to put the truck in reverse the jet engine sound went away. Is that normal?

The sound going away when you hit the brake; Yes
Sounds like you might have a problem with the Manifold Air Temp sensor. Which the PCM also uses to adjust fuel and timing. Which would explain your mileage problem. You need a scan tool such as AE or Torque Pro

No. If a sensor goes out it may or may not throw a code. AE and Torque Pro will allow you to see what a particular sensor is telling the PCM. So if you check the air temp sensor and it says it's 22 degrees out, but it's actually 87. You have a bad sensor.
Torque and Torque Pro are apps that you use with a blue tooth OBDII adapter and is considerably cheaper over AE. There are a couple of threads on here that go into detail on how to use both programs.
Alternatively, you could just start replacing and deleting things util it seems to run right again!
