Engine brake

[Beanz]

Was thinking about putting an engine brake on my truck. Are they only for autos?

i dont think so but i thught about getting one untill i saw the price, but then again i dont really have a use for one that much so for me one wouldnt be worth it for the price

You can turn your warm up valve in to one:http://http://www.powerstroke.org/fo...-new-post.html

I have a BD brake on my 2001 F-350 6 speed and it hold your trailers back without using the service brakes on the truck

You can use them on autos, you just have to run some wires to lock the torque converter when the brake actuates. I'm using my EBPV as a brake, and it works quite well for no more money than it costs. I'm sure the after market brakes work better, but they cost a lot.

Homemade exhaust brake

well i have a manual but some one told me that you can only put them on autos.

That is not correct they are for either trans. A friend bought one for his 95 manual and works great.

US Gear was the nicest one we could find that went inline on the exhaust. The ones that bolt to the turbo disrupt the air flow and performance just like the stock EBPV.

He just put his on, hasn't used it much and only tows a large slide-in camper. Everyone else tows but has more axles with more brakes.

i have electric brake for all the trailers and the work but i thought i might look in to it to save the brakes
