Cold dragging of motor.

Cold dragging of motor.
I have a 1997 f350 4wd PSD. On the cold mornings, even after 10-15 minutes warm up. The motor starts moaning( while driving) and loses power, then will go normal, then repeat the bogging down. I can hear the heater fan slow down with this. Maybe vacum? Just does this when cold, or I don`t notice when warm.

That system should come on if it is under 40F (measured at the IAT sensor. It stays on until the EOT (Engine Oil Temp) gets to 170 degrees... but there is supposed to be a cutout whne high RPM or high load.
How do I know that? Mine had problems. If you find that is the problem, disconnect the connector to the EBPR (connector bolted to the compressor housing on the driver's side. The EBPV should then stay open. No harm in that, but sometimes that will throw a code saying its not working.
Mine was driving worse than that. It was sticking and not releasing when it should have. When I did a pedestal EBPR and outlet EBP delete, (Also did a EBPR electrical hack) I could see where it was sticking when closed. I don't miss it at all. In fact it runs much better without it. More flow with the high-flow housing (without the EBPV). The delte pedestal has more airflow, so lower EGT's I have a tune with a high-idle to help it warm up... which is the only reason that valve is supposedly there. (to help it warm up.) I think plugging the exhaust was a bad idea (theory) on how to warm up a motor.
