DIY Exhaust Brake Schematic
Last weekend I got my brakes quite hot going down a long steep incline pulling my 5th wheel and decided that its time to do the exhaust brake. I have searched for the schematic that uses the IVS to engage it but cannot find the schematic. Does anyone know where I can find it?
Thanks

I don't know if you have an auto or stick, but to keep the TC locked up, check out the Diesel Innovations website. They have directions on how to wire up your TC so you can switch it to lock up whenever you want. I did it and it helps for rolling down hills, it don't drop into idle, it'll keep the motor pulling.

Well guys I was just out looking at my truck, early 99 F-350 dually and for some reason it doesn't have an EBPV on it. I found the wires by the pedestal but they weren't attached to anything and after looking at the turbo and down pipe there is no such thing as an actuator or valve in it. The only thing that I can think is that this truck was ordered new here in AZ without the cold weather package, I still have the window sticker is the way I know that. So my next question is can I go to a bone yard and maybe get one off of another turbo and put it on mine or are these machined surfaces specific to that turbo? This is a little disappointing for me as I really wanted to do that mod today. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

It actually looks like it is a cast housing with no welding or anything on it. The waste gate works like it should. This is a bummer, and you are right, I should probably just go pick up a brake and install it in the exhaust.
