A stock automatic
equipped Ford truck, prior to 1999, will disengage the convertor
clutch when the accelerator pedal returns to idle, the brake pedal
is touched or when the truck accelerates. Since 1999, the convertor
clutch will remain engaged until the brake pedal is touched. When
the convertor clutch is not engaged the engine free wheels and the
engine rpm falls to idle with no transfer of retarding horsepower
being achieved. BD's BrakeLoc will maintain convertor lock up until
a pre-selected vehicle speed. 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 their Variable Orifice
Technology, and won't stick like the stock heat riser can.
