Hey guys, I have a '97 7.3 pretty much bone stock except for a 6637 style intake from riffraff I installed tonight. Everything went smooth but it seems my EBPV has gotten louder and seems to stick open more frequently. I live in MA and can see temps in the 10-20's so I'm not sure if unplugging the valve is a good idea. Anyone have any ideas of what may of happened/ should I unplug the EBPV? Any help is great!

un plug it makes life eaiser. Mine started at -3 this morning with the ebpv unplugged. Mine would come on going down the road.

The larger intake just allows more sound out. I would delete the EBPV it only function is to make the engine warm up faster.

The new intake literally has nothing to do with the operation of the ebpv. Like stated, just unplug it. You dont NEED it

Yes you will be fine with it deleted or unplugged

As soon as I get Red truck running, the new to me '96 is getting it. I hate the bloody EBPV pedestal and valve assembly. Really is a gimmick and the difference between having and not is not worth the oil leaks, silly noise and poor engine performance when it's on. I spit in it's general direction. Ford stubbed it hard on that one.
