BD DIESEL 1030755 BRAKELOC 1994–2003 FORD 7.3L MANUAL TRANS

Product Description

The BD DIESEL 1030755 BrakeLoc is a cost-effective exhaust braking solution engineered for 1994–2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke pickup trucks equipped with a manual transmission. BrakeLoc turns the factory exhaust backpressure (EBP) or heat riser valve control into an electronically-controlled exhaust braking system, improving engine retarding performance during towing, descents, and heavy loads.

BrakeLoc works by commanding the OEM exhaust backpressure valve’s control wire to activate the valve and create additional backpressure, which enhances deceleration without excessive brake use. This economical alternative to a dedicated exhaust brake adds controllable engine drag that helps reduce brake fade, decrease brake wear, and increase control under load.
