BD Diesel BrakeLoc - 1995-2003 Ford 7.3L Automatic Trans 1030750

Make the Most of Your Power Stroke's Heat Riser Valve! BD's BrakeLoc connects to the engine heat riser valve's control wire, turning the factory heat riser valve into an electronically-controlled exhaust brake. Includes the BD AutoLoc to maintain lock-up when the exhaust brake is activated ensuring that 100% of the retarding force is being transferred in 3rd and 4th gears, preventing slippage and subsequent high oil temperatures. Note that, because the heat riser is activated electronically, 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 the vacuum-actuated BD Brake exhaust brake system, which utilizes our Variable Orifice Technology, and won't stick like the stock heat riser can.

Features

• Cost effective solution of engine retarding for towing with the automatic transmission on the Ford PowerStrokes
• Commands the Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP) valve to activate as well as keeping the lock-up clutch of the torque converter to stay engaged to allow up to 100% of the retarding force to be transferred while in 3rd and 4th gear
• Transmission oil temperatures will remain low because of little or no slippage occurring in the converter in these gears
• For more efficient retarding use or medium to heavy loads use BD Exhaust Brake 2033143, 2023144, 1037143 or 1027144
