Thanks
It also creates a dead spot in the throttle........
It's really annoying, is there any way to make it go away?

Sure thing... Unplug the connector right under the intake side of the turbo.

Let your truck warm up properly and it will not turn on... Or clean your exhaust back pressure sensor tube.

well, i let my truck run for 5-10 min in the driveway, and i live in alaska, so after driving for 20 min into town, the truck is finally warmed up enough for the EBPV to disengage and the dead spot to go away, which seems ecessivly long........
I have the clutch fan removed from the engine as well
with the sensor unplugged will it hurt my engine at all?

The reason it is there is to aid in warmups... So you will lose that function.

It won't hurt anything.

How do you change the EBPV into a jake brake? I'm putting a chip on my truck with high idle so I don't think Ill need it?

And does anybody know why our trucks don't idle up when it's cold like the 2nd gen strokers?
They might but I don't think mine has ever done it

?
