my buddy has a 2001 f350 all stock and wants to add a exhaust brake. what would you stroker guys recommend he gets???? I know the 7.3 very well just not when it comes to modding it. help me out.

 

You can make one for basically free out of the ebpv

 

would you please explain........

 

The ebpv is an exhaust backpressure valve. It closes when certain points are met when its cold to make the motor work harder to warm up faster. All you need is an on/off switch. On the turbo pedestal you will find a plug. Unplug that and there will be a grey/red wire. That is the one you cut. Have power going to the switch, the the other wire going to the grey/red wire. Tape the other end off. The pcm will no longer have control over the ebpv so when it is cold he has to turn it on manually to aid warmup. You know when it works the exhaust will have a loud hiss to it. Watch trans temps when using the brake unless you have a tc lockup

 

i found a writeup on it. thanks dude

 

Np its not that hard. You can do the tc lock yourself too

 

can someone post a pic of this plug i hooked it into a lower plug gray/red wire on turbo pedestal an when you flip switch it nearly kills truck thanks
