Optimize your Power Stroke's exhaust backpressure valve with BD's BrakeLoc! This device connects to the EBPV control wire, transforming the factory valve into an electronically controlled exhaust brake. The package includes the BD AutoLoc, ensuring lock-up maintenance during exhaust brake activation, and directing 100% of the retarding force in the 3rd and 4th gears.
Keep in mind that the EBPV operates hydraulically, causing a 2-3 second delay between valve actuation and engine retarding. While BrakeLoc is a cost-effective option, it is not a substitute for an exhaust brake. For faster and more efficient braking, we recommend BD's exhaust brake system, utilizing Variable Orifice Technology and avoiding the sticking issues common with stock EBP valves.
Features:
- Affordable solution for engine retarding during towing with automatic transmission on Ford PowerStrokes.
- Activates Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP) valve and maintains torque converter lock-up in 3rd and 4th gears.
- Allows up to 100% of retarding force transfer, enhancing towing control.
- Minimizes transmission oil temperatures by reducing slippage in the converter during these gears.
- For more efficient retarding under medium to heavy loads, consider BD Exhaust Brake models 2033143, 2023144, 1037143, or 1027144.
