I did this today and like it. It only takes a half an hour tops and costs a hell of a lot less than a Pac Brake so needless to say the wife loves it too

ya i tried mine, but my EBPV doesn't work, it doesn't close at all, and yes its hooked up right, i don't get a click or anything, does the truck have to be running to close it? (yes i tried it with it running also)

yea truck has to be running, all your doing with the switch is operating a vacuum control solenoid, just opens and closes letting vacuum to the valve.
