What makes you think that it is cycling? Could be just stuck, I unplugged mine, and haven't missed it one bit. I've heard stories of the valve sticking or fluttering, and giving driveability issues.

It comes on when at idle at and at cruising. It does open when you accelerate. I have noticed it more sense I changed out the muffler and the fact that it has been below 30 degrees here in eastern New Mexico for the last few mornings

If it doesn't effect the driveability at all, I wouldn't worry about it. I just unhooked mine to try to open up the exhaust flow a little more, plus I didn't need the Jet landing in my driveway in the morning!
Mine's been dis-connected for years now, but I have it wired so I can control it with a switch..... use it as an exhaust brake (of sorts).. going down hills, towing..... or use it to speed up a warm up, at idle, on a cold, cold start.JMO but it shouldn't be able come on randomly though.... it puts back pressure against the turbo.. and can cause it to overheat and you'd feel a serious power loss under throttle demands... if it's un-controlled. Smoke too.(an EGT gauge will reflect the temp increase)

How do you have it wired?
I bought & installed a "Plug'n Play" kit to do it, from ebay.... but others here on SDD have fab'd their own version(s), I think some of the site sponsors may have the kits too
It's NOT an X-brake in the true sense.. it's more of a "Hold Back" that works best @ RPMs above 2K.. I'm a 6 speed, so I down shift to 5th and it works very well. On the "Big Roads", I flip it on, and just let it Drift down the hill, with very light breaking.. if any at all. Auto tranny's ?.. maybe some of the others will chime in ??
