Not sure why you would want to do this? All you have to do is hit the button and turn the EB off. ***************THIS MOD STILL ALLOWS THE EB BUTTON TO WORK JUST LIKE BEFORE, ONLY IT STARTS IN THE ON POSITION INSTEAD OF THE OFF POSITION****************************

Great write up, will be doing this soon.

What I am wondering is if anyone has tried this trick on the Tow/Haul or the Cruise on buttons.
80 - 90% of my driving is pulling my toyhauler with my car hooked behind the toyhauler. I always run with the EB, T/H and Cruise on, would be nice to have them all come on automatically.

If anyone with an auto is interested in moving their EB switch, this switch bracket is available from Pac Brake.Sometimes I like to turn it off as it is too much brake.It would go good with the gear selector switch right beside it.

Yes, the TH and EB would be nice to set on as default and then turn off it needed. The cruise is not problem as it is right there on the wheel... This EB switch mod is on my list too.

Maybe I will figure out how to double tow someday as well. I drive mine the same way/amount as you. Would like to see your towing set-up.

87a is the pin in the middle of the relay ... right ? Not the one on the very top ... correct ?

txfiremedic

You are correct!

Use my EB often but I want to still be able to coast. How about setting it up to come on automatically if u tap the brake pedal?

txfiremedic

The mod only changes that it comes on automatically. If you want to coast, reach over and turn it off.

R1Bill

That was clear but I still would be hitting the button all the time.
A better mod, for me at least would be for it to come on automatically
when I touch the brake pedal. Then I only need to switch it off.
Half as many button pushes that way.

Works like a champ ... AWESOME mod !!!

Thought I'd put this at the top. Great mod for you 6.7 guys! Maybe someday it will be added as a tech article.

mega-engr

That would be great. One of these days, I'm going to find to the time to do this. Until then my OCD helps me hit the EB and TH every time I drive.

Thank you for the great write up, this will definitely go on my mods list.

I am doing it to my truck because I am also getting a remote starter on the truck. When this BOMB is done, the engine will warm up faster since the brake engages when I start it. I was not putting a remote start on the truck until someone came up with a way to have the brake come on at start up. I am not too phat yet so I can lean over [might not be able to breathe though] and turn it off when I feel the road is too icy...which happens lots. Thanks for the effort!

Now I can stay Phat and warm without having to walk the extra 12 feet to the truck to start it up and turn the brake on when its -40.

Hopefully this BOMB will not make me gain weight.

I just did this mod and it works great. The relay I got fit perfect into the blank spot next to the EB switch. I used two side tape to make sure it doesn't flop around. Thanks again for the write up.
