Description
BRAKELOC – MANUAL TRANSMISSION FORD 7.3L POWER STROKE 1994-2003
Make the Most of Your Power Stroke’s exhaust backpressure valve! BD’s BrakeLoc connects to the EBPV control wire, turning the factory valve into an electronically-controlled exhaust brake. Note that, because the EBPV is activated hydraulically, there is typically a 2-3 second delay between the time the valve is actuated and engine retarding occurs. While the BrakeLoc is an economical alternative to an exhaust brake, it is NOT intended as a substitute. For quicker, more effective braking, we recommend a BD exhaust brake system, which utilizes our Variable Orifice Technology, and won’t stick like the stock EPB valve can.
Features:
- Cost effective solution of engine retarding for towing with the Ford PowerStroke by utilizing the OEM Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP) valve
- Commands the EBP valve to activate to act as an engine brake
- For more efficient retarding use or medium to heavy loads use BD Exhaust Brake 2033143, 2023144, 1037143 or 1027144
