So I've seen several videos of people wiring their EBPV to a switch, in order to use it as an exhaust brake. Everyone says it's very simple to do, BUT I've yet to see a decent instructional video. So here's a few questions I have:
1. Will this work on 7.3's with an automatic transmission? Every video I've seen has it installed on a manual, but I wouldn't think the AT would affect it.
2. Are there any negative effects caused by using the EBPV as an exhaust brake?
3. Can anyone provide me with a basic "how-to" on how to PROPERLY do this? I don't want to screw anything up.

Thanks!

Best way is to get a decel tune.
On a auto you need to keep the converter locked. Exceeds most people's capabilities.
And yes, if used incorrectly can cause engine damage.

I already have a TS chip. How would I go about getting a decel tune?

Contact a tuner that offers it, then send the chip in to be programmed.

I've been scouring the Internet and can't find anyone that offers one. Any recommendations?
