ebpv rod
Where does the other end of the rod go to?Is it possible for an oil leak to come from there?I've got oil on the up-pipe I think. Does not appear the pedastal.
I'm getting some serious smoke from near the turbo after I shut her down. Not really wanting that to continue.Thanks

IIRC, the EBPV is actuated by oil pressure. So, I believe you could have a leak there. I will gladly defer to those more experience than I in the workings under the hood, if I am incorrect.

You can absolutely have an oil leak from around the EBPV actuator rod. Unfortunately living in New York, I don't think deleting the EBPV would be a good idea for you. That's just my opinion, there may be others that live in that area that know better. Deleting the EBPV is a common mod to eliminate the possibility of leakage. Otherwise I suppose all there is to do is to tear into it and fix the leak. Here is a link that explains what is inside the EBPV cylinder.
This link details the removal of the turbo and pedestal.
If you decide to do this, let us know. There are a couple of other thinks you might want to know in addition to this.

Thanks everyone.I have had the ebpv unhooked for three years. Have'nt missed it a bit. Fuel gelling up,that's a different story.I'm just not really looking forward to removing the turbo. I thought about doing it when I had my power loss problem. I took a couple of the bolts out and realized I need to buy some tools to get it done....Well if that's what I've gotta do then I'll get er done. I don't like leaving things unfixed.

If you are following the turbo removal instructions you might want to note these modifications I posted earlier for them.
If you are going to delete the EBPV, you could do what I did and buy a blank turbo pedestal. I got mine from here, not a bad deal for $75. However, it would have been better if the EBPV cylinder had been removed as well, it makes for easier installation. But for the savings I think it was worth the extra hassle of installing, especially since Cody did most of the work!
If you are going to do the delete yourself, I know that you either have to weld up the hole in the EBPV cylinder where the actuator rod comes through, or you have to tap and plug it. I'm not sure about what you do to the other end where the snap ring is. As for the EBPV itself, here is a comprehensive set of instructions on how that is done.
Good luck.

How do you know if the valve is working or not? I have only owned my truck for about 4 months. When I let off the accelerator I do not notice any type of compression breaking. Example if I am going down a hill and let off the rpm's drop to about 500-700 rpms.

Not sure what you are asking. My understanding is that the intended purpose of the EBPV is that it closes when the engine is cold to hold back exhaust gases until the engine is warmed up. In that case I would think that it is temperature controlled. I know that there is a mod that allows you to use the EBPV as an engine brake. Sounds like that is what you are talking about, in which case you would need to perform the mod first.
