EBPV Still Works Great but Now Have Exh Leak
Hey Ya All,
The ebpv I re wired for use as an exhaust brake works great... just like dropping a gear when pulling a loaded trailer... however, I think I've sprung an exhaust leak at the gaskets where the manifold pipes join the turbo.. I smell exhaust in the cab while the engine is warming up and sometimes when I'm going downhill with the ebpv turned on... looks like these gaskets are a real PITA to replace.... any tips?

Well I got it figured out. I just got a reverse relay. So when I press the go pedal it supplies power to the relay, which will then open, cutting off power to the exhaust brake. When I let off the pedal, it will cut power to the relay, which will then close. Sending power to the exhaust brake. This will also have a switch on the dash inline, so I can still shut the brake off.
