Been mulling over using the EBPV as a eng brake after noticing that mine was getting wonky at the wierdest times......engaging at odd rpms regardless of eng temp etc......actually felt like CPS was going a couple times.
I have read Swamps article and his relies on using the signal from the master cyl/brake switch to activate and requires you maintain some pedal pressure.
Having a bolt action as opposed to a slush box makes the obsecene thoughts I'm having plauseable.............I THINK
My thoughts are just using a simple dash mounted on/off type switch with 2 lights....
-single light when switched on/both lights on when valve is actuated- and using the idle verify switch on the pedal assy to engage.... very similiar to a single position Jake brake style make switch - no signal from the throttle pedal---EBPV actuates.
Of course using this idea isn't practical for in town operation just hiway/down grades/ etc.....
The only bug is remebering to shut the switch off when idling at a stop, unless there could be some sort of rpm low limit signal
Sounds quite simple for my limited electronic mind :Sly
Any electronicalwizzbanggurus wanna sheare some input as to what if any rectifer/diodes or resistors would be nesc to make this work?
Or am I just full of it
