EBPV brake completed!!

**dieseldan2005** · #1 (**permalink**) 05-17-2009, 04:15 PM

I finally did the brake mod with the help of my father in law

. It was kind of a pain, but it was worth it. Even with an auto the truck really slows down nice. The transgo tugger shift kit helps with the lock up really good too. i have it setup with an 3 position engine brake switch thats on/off/on. High is always on and low is on with the brake lights. Let me know if you guys have any questions about this mod.

Do you have a TC lockup on yours?

Anything in particular you'd like to see? The switch is a carling brand engine brake switch. The rest of the mod is just wiring.

Anything you can get with your camera. I just like seeing projects like this, I think they're cool.....................& I get jealous 'cause I don't have any $$$$ to do anything right now.

It only cost about 25 bucks to do and i used an expensive switch. You could do it with a cheap switch for about 5-6 bucks.

$5-$6 to me right now is like $100!

Did you do your's with the TC lockup? & if you did, do you have the light that lets you know the TC's locked?
