Make the Most of Your Power Stroke's exhaust backpressure valve! BD's BrakeLoc connects to the EBPV control wire, turning the factory valve into an electronically-controlled exhaust brake. Note that, because the EBPV is activated hydraulically, 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 a BD exhaust brake system, which utilizes our Variable Orifice Technology, and won't stick like the stock EPB valve can.

BD Brakeloc Exhaust Brake Features:

  • Cost effective solution of engine retarding for towing with the Ford PowerStroke by utilizing the OEM Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP) valve
  • Commands the EBP valve to activate to act as an engine brake
  • For more efficient retarding use or medium to heavy loads use BD Exhaust Brake 2033143, 2023144, 1037143 or 1027144

    • Yes, Cost effective solution of engine retarding for towing with the Ford PowerStroke by utilizing the OEM Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP) valve
  • Will this work with auto transmission

    Chris pond | 10/10/2022

    No. you require BDD1030750

  • How well would this system work with 99 7.3l manual 6 speed hauling 20k+?

    Cole Gordon | 10/25/2019

    Well, BD's BrakeLoc computer is designed to close the EBV valve on the Ford Powerstroke and will maintain convertor lock up until a pre-selected vehicle speed. The BrakeLoc improves retarding horsepower from 5 RHP, when the clutch is not engaged, to 200RHP when engaged.

  • How well does this work pulling a 15,200# 5th wheel? very interested for the price. I have a 2000 F-250 7.3 6 speed manual. Don't want to break the bank on the traditional brake exhaust. Thanks for reading.

    This product will work well for that application.

  • Just wanting to make sure this will work on my truck. It is a 99 7.3L super duty turbo charger with a 6 speed manual transmission. It has been completely gone thru mechanically and new paint. I am setting it up to haul 10k fifth wheel RV.

    K. Lyons | 5/20/2019

    Yes, this is an excellent brake for your 99 and really is excellent when paired with the manual trans for stopping ability.
