EBPV to J-Brake conversion HOW?
A friend of mine has an SD PSD. He wants to convert the EBPV to work as an exhaust brake. I know some folks here have done that but dont know how it is done. Please point me at some instructions.

Check this out. Very inexpensive and works well. I took many ideas and designs to make it work for me. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=334585 If you have any questions just ask.

Thanks mech2161
Just a few questions:
1. I assume RS = Radioshack
2. What is the purpose of the switch in the BK/WH wire ?
3. Was the location of microswitch in the GY/RD wire just for convenience?
4. Unless I misinterpret what you describe the rectifier is to prevent feedback voltage to the PCM when you activate the EBPV for braking. Correct?

1. yes
2. I live in a development an they don't like the noise. By doing this I can turn it on or off for cold warm up. By switching the ground, if you have a short you only activate the EBPV and don't have a melt down.
3. yes I ride my hand on the shifter and don't have to take my eyes off the road to find a switch on the dash.
4. yes I believe I posted a part # for that.
Mine is working great, no SES.

Thanks very much I will get this to my friend.
He is good at making things like you describe but doesnt even own a computer much less internet access. He was thinking of puting a commercial Jake Brake on his PSD and I told him I had seen people talk about converting the EBPV to act as a brake. He was very excited cause he reallydidnt want to lay out the $$$ for a commercial unit.
Thanks again
