1030750 BD Diesel BrakeLoc Exhaust Brake Kit - Ford 1995-2003 Auto Trans

Overview

Make the Most of Your Powerstroke'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.

Automatic transmission-equipped models require the use of the BD AutoLoc computer to manage torque converter lock-up values for maximized retarding power.

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.
