BD-Power Tap Shifter

Anybody here running the BD-Power tap shifter or know of any similar setups that work well? Also, I have wondered for a while now if it is hard on the engine/transmission when downshifting and letting the rpms hold high with the 5r110

Curious myself. I used to own a 2013 F150 with this feature and it was awesome being able to have full control of the trans.

Exhaust brake feature looks interesting as well. Not sure about "70psi of backpressure" that sounds a little like a recipe to break things.

Pretty pricey but if you are towing a lot it could be nice.

Another option, especially if you use a tow tune is to get your tuner to tune out 6th gear in tow/haul. That guve you the ability to manually shift from 1st thru 5th with the gear selector.

The tune option works great.
