Can do your own for about 30 bucks in parts

TC Lockup can be made for under 15$ and you can convert your EBPV to a brake relatively cheap as well.

These mods are on my To-Do list.

I've been trying to find a DIY on the ebpv setup..

[derrickmcphate]

is the tq convertor able to be set to a specific speed or would i have to manually turn it on and off with the diy setup?

[Kyle_KleinSS]

You turn it on and off with a switch. For the ebpv brake some hook it into the brake lights and what not I dont I dont tow much I just use it to make noise coming up the off ramp on the interstate and such. Its nice to have though for stopping and the t/c lock up worked awsome when pulling a trailer I think

Oh **** thats a good idea, putting it on the brake lights.

Is the EBPV something that wears out if used often? Or do they last forever like the rest of the truck?

[Ryan Rønning]

They can start to stick after years of use but it is easy to fix!

[85_305]

good deal. How do you fix it, crawl under and do it by hand?

[derrickmcphate]

the only problem with hooking it to the brake lights is you have to step on the brakes which doesnt really reduce wear
