Inexpensive Exhaust brake?
If you are so inclined, look at www.spdiesel.com and give me your take on this exhaust brake.<!--/Text-->

I couldn't find it from that link but it sounds like the type that uses the EBPV as a brake. I built my own for about $25 and it works ok at slowing down me and my 5er. Easy to do and for the price, it'll help out a little.

I don't know why the link sends you to the wrong address, but it does. The site is http://www.spdiesel.com. So if clicking on it won't work, type it in and it will.
I just tried it myself and it still sends to "motorhaven" site. That is confusing to me unless there is some kind of blocking going on. However, typing the address in yourself will work.

ecourager, the FTE filter will block certain competing websites. Save some money and do it yourself. Here's a good link to Kwikkordead's setup:

That's the same one I did. If I were to do it over again, I would eliminate the always on position and instead of tapping into the brake wire, I tapped in to the IVS on the throttle pedal and ran a relay so that the brake comes on when I'm off the throttle. Works pretty good when I'm coming down the passes with the 5er.
