BD DIESEL 1030750 BRAKELOC W/CONVERTER CONTROL 1995–2003 FORD 7.3L AUTOMATIC TRANS

Product Description

The BD DIESEL 1030750 BrakeLoc with Converter Control is an economical, effective solution designed to improve engine retarding on 1995–2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke trucks equipped with an automatic transmission. This system electronically commands the exhaust backpressure valve (EBPV) while maintaining torque converter lock-up during deceleration to transfer more retarding force through the drivetrain and improve downhill control under load.

By ensuring the torque converter remains locked when the exhaust brake is engaged, this BrakeLoc helps reduce transmission oil temperature and converter slippage during retarding use. That means enhanced braking performance and reduced wear when towing heavy loads or descending grades. Installation typically takes around 2 hours with basic hand tools.
