i dont see why it cant be done but i would think that it would be impracticle this way. every time the truck goes to idle the valve will be closed, even on start-up and idle

Sounds like what I'm going to do with my dump truck. Plan on a relay so it disengages the EBPV when the accel is pushed but plan on using the toggle to turn if off when not wanted. Should be the same as the store bought setup, except the cruise override..

If you don't use a relay then you will have to turn the switch off every time you go to accelerate.

The IVS is normally open (no voltage)at idle. When the throttle is pushed It supplies a voltage to the PCM indicating off Idle. The Red w/orange stripe wire goes to the PCM. The brown wire should have voltage all the time. Not sure how much voltage is on that wire though but it looks like 12v...
