BD BrakeLoc for Power Stroke: Economical Exhaust Braking Solution

Maximize the potential of your Power Stroke's exhaust backpressure valve with BD's BrakeLoc. This innovative system connects directly to the EBPV control wire, transforming your factory valve into an electronically-controlled exhaust brake. Designed as a cost-effective alternative for engine retarding during towing, the BrakeLoc leverages the OEM Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP) valve to enhance your vehicle's braking capabilities.

While the BrakeLoc provides a budget-friendly solution, it's important to note that the EBPV is hydraulically activated, resulting in a typical 2-3 second delay between activation and engine retarding. This makes the BrakeLoc a practical option for those seeking a simple upgrade, but not a complete substitute for a dedicated exhaust brake system.

For those requiring quicker, more effective braking—especially under medium to heavy loads—we recommend upgrading to a BD exhaust brake system featuring our Variable Orifice Technology. Unlike the stock EBP valve, our advanced system offers faster response times and superior reliability, ensuring your engine brake won't stick under demanding conditions.

Key Features:

• Cost-Effective Braking: Utilizes the OEM Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP) valve for an economical engine retarding solution during towing.
• Enhanced Control: Commands the EBP valve to function as an engine brake, providing additional control when you need it.
• Delay Consideration: Expect a 2-3 second delay due to the hydraulic activation of the EBPV.
• Upgrade Options Available: For more efficient braking with heavier loads, consider BD’s advanced exhaust brake systems (Models 2033143, 2023144, 1037143, or 1027144).

Choose BD's BrakeLoc for an affordable way to improve your Power Stroke's exhaust braking performance, or opt for our premium exhaust brake systems for faster, more reliable braking under heavy towing conditions.
