EBPV brake Specifics
so, i'm gonna do the ebpv brake. i warmed up my truck this morning. ebpv didnt didnt actuate at all. listened the whole time. i checked today, and the sensor is $150 so i think i will go with the ebpv brake for $15 instead. my idea: to incorperate a good toggle switch, and run hotwire from battery, with inline 15 or 20 amp fuse, and use butt connectors with shrink wrap. MY QUESTION: which wire to cut on connector and where, and how do i hook it all up. will my idea work? all help appreciated!

you can do a toggle if you don't want the EBPV to operate normally or be operated by the brake pedal.

When I step on the brake pedal to slow down, the engine RPM drops to idle almost immediately. Is that what the EBPV does? Is mine working properly?

no, the ebpv to act as a brake has to be jury(or other word of choice) rigged to do so. that is the diesels normal back pressure. it should hold itself back some, through the tranny, and the natural slowing of the engine. stock, the EBPV only aids in warm-up
