The BD Diesel BrakeLoc (Part # 1030750) is a high-performance exhaust brake system designed specifically for heavy-duty Ford trucks equipped with 7.3L engines and automatic transmissions. This exhaust brake commands the exhaust back pressure (EBP) valve to activate, enhancing retarding power during towing or downhill driving. It maintains the lock-up clutch of the torque converter engaged, allowing up to 100% of the retarding force to be transferred while in third and fourth gear, which significantly improves braking efficiency without overtaxing the transmission. The BrakeLoc system helps keep transmission oil temperatures low by minimizing slippage in the torque converter, reducing wear and increasing reliability under heavy loads. This cost-effective solution is ideal for fleet operators and serious towing enthusiasts seeking improved control and safety during demanding driving conditions. It includes BD BrakeLoc, wiring harness, circuit board, and connectors, ensuring an integrated and reliable installation. The system is backed by a 12-month or 24,000-mile warranty, reflecting BD Diesel’s commitment to quality and durability in heavy-duty diesel applications. Designed to fit a range of 1996-2003 Ford F-Series trucks, this product is engineered to enhance engine braking, reduce brake wear, and improve overall vehicle control during heavy-duty operation.
