Hello All,
I have a 2003 F-250 and just ordered Banks big hoss kit. Also I am looking for a good exhaust brake, BD seems to be the best one that I can find. I also want to get a good set of air lockers. The ones that everyone has been telling me about are ARB air lockers. If anyone has these products and can give me some feedback it would be much appreciated. -- Johan

Yes, I do have the 6.0 and I have been waiting a while for a brake, I have the earliest model 6.0, bought it in 02, yet I still only have 40 miles on it, due to the whole military thing -- Thanks for everyones help. -- Johan

So, no one here uses an exhaust brake or Lockers???? If not is there a reason, does it cost too much for little benifets? Or do you just not feel the need for such products? I tow horses, big snowmobile trailers and am looking into getting a camper. So stopping and slowing down without using my hydraulic system seems like a good idea to me. Any light on the subject will be appreciated, Also I love this forum, such a weatlh of knowledge here -- Johan

Wel;come to the best Ford Enthusiasts site in Cyberspace ! !

And you've probably gotten the most responses you'll get about this
Not that we don't want to help, but that these are two subjects I've never seen discussed on here... guess few if any of us have tried it...

I personally have no info on either other than:
I've been told an exhaust brake is an instant warranty denied issue !
And since I have a 100k extended warranty and little info about exhaust brakes, I'll leave it off....

Actually, the tow/haul feature works MOST EXCELENT (for you Bill and Ted fans)
at slowing the beast down with little or no brakes...

Sorry, I just don't have any experience with the lockers or exhaust brakes...
