Well, I don't know personally but that is what I was told by the guy. Anyways, isn't the EBPV supposed to keep the exhaust gasses from going out so easily and thus raise the EGT and the engine temp?

only when the engine temp is cold enough, and it has to be a certain temp or below outside the ebpv will kick in if the engine isnt at a high enough temp, right now where i live it is around 32 out in the mornings and the vavle will kick in, and then i will drive it to work and the engine will be hot, but if the truck sits for about an hour or a little more allowing the engine to cool enough, the valve will kick in after a few minutes

The EBPV is just an "engine warmup device" - that's the actual term that International uses. Its only purpose is to help the engine warm up, and help keep it warm if it's idling for a while in pretty cold temps. Disconnecting yours year-round will only make your warmups last a bit longer (or not get quite as warm) if you tend to idle for 5-10 minutes before leaving than they would if the valve were still operable. Once you get driving, it'll get up to full operating temp.
