When eliminating the EVO, you do not have to swap to a pre-EVO S/box.
Just need the kit or the one pre-EVO hard line.
Good to know. Thanks.

In a similar situation, I have 34s and a 6" lift on a k2500 Suburban. I am pretty sure I am at full boost all of the time and I'm actually seeing some end play in my steering gear output shaft as well as leaks around the EVO. Never have liked the steering, but I'm worried that my wife won't be able to park this thing if I delete the EVO.Yes, I know this thread is old but its still good info so Ill add my post in.
I have a 98 Tahoe. I need to replace the idler arm and pitman arm. I will also be doing a new Redhead box. I have felt that full boost feel on the highway about 3 times in the last 6 months so I think one of the sensors may bee going out. The way I look at it is I have a few options here to correct it.
Option 1 is to buy the gm kit to eliminate it. Fight the removal of the pump and then reinstall
Option 2 is to replace the sensor(s). Not sure if the one on the pump is still available
Option 3 replace the pump and get one from a pre EVO truck and then get the matching correct hard line to the box
Option 3 will require the purchase of a new pump and line but it will also eliminate an extra connection.
Just looking for advice here on what would be better for long term.
Not sure if it matters but I have a 6" lift and Im running 20x9 wheels with 305 tires. Not sure if its worth keep a properly working EVO setup on a lifted truck with oversized tires
Forgot to ask the most important/relevant question...
Has anyone replaced the EVO wheel sensor and still had issues (ie the valve on the pump is bad?) I would hate to spend the $40-$60 on the sensor just to find out the EVO valve is bad.

I get what you're saying, but when the sensors fail or are unplugged the system delivers full boost. Full boost all the time feels super sketchy. If that's what the EVO delete feels like I have no idea why anyone would ever choose to do it.
EDIT - Example to clarify what I'm trying to say... I've driven pre-EVO trucks and they don't feel anything like an EVO truck with a malfunctioning system delivering full boost all the time. EVO at full boost at all times feels unsafe to me, especially over 40MPH or so. Way too little resistance in the wheel and zero feedback.
