*My Mitsubishi Canter has factory equiped Exhaust Brake. I can tell you that it brake power is good. I can go downhill without even push the brake pedal. I only push the brake pedal when parking / nearly stop in traffic light. The downside, it only brake the rear wheel. Sumtime when i have no load, i feel that the back tires kinda sideway, a bit scary when the road is wet and got no load.*
Ian M Kerner LLC maybe ill have to look into a torq lock up set up and operate the ebpv manaully somehow since i pull a 13k trailer a few times a year save on brake wear and tear
tractorboy31 I converted my truck to a 5 speed. Does it work yeah, does it stop the truck? Not really. to be honest doing it this way is probably not worth the bullshit. If you want an exhaust brake I’d just buy the bd diesel one. The ebpv doesn’t close totally as it has holes in it. Watching the exhaust back pressure gauge in my truck it does climb quite a bit but it’s no jake brake. You can feel it in 1 2 and 3 gears at high rpm but just down shifting throws you forward more then applying this. I guess what I’m trying to say is it doesn’t work like you think it would. You want to save on brakes. Get a 5 or 6 speed tranny and swap out that auto. Just my 2 cents. I tow my bobcat and I barely touch the brakes with the 5 speed
Ian M Kerner LLC im likeing for now the auto it has like 30k a rebuild so i dont do a whole lot of towing but i will get an additional trans cooler and be looking at a trans command unit for the truck which has 285k
Pretty dope

@@ianmkernerllc85 regardless awesome diy video ill take this over 1500 kits all day
Just wire the ebpv to a switch and ground it
Which wire do you cut to do that? Im wanting to do it now and cant figure out which one to cut
Does it only work on manual transmission
No they make if for automatics aswell
