you find them on ebay and other sites. has anyone used one yet? some pro's and cons please

 

Some on here have made their own. Bump.

 

so they work well or do damage?

 

Look in my sig, you will see the Decel tune on my DP-TUNER. I just press a button and the EBPV closes, this is a good thing when towing. Don't hurt nothing. What is it you want to get out of this?

 

my truck used to be a repo truck. i still tow with it (cars and a 10k lb trailer) need to save my brakes. but dont want to spend 1100 on a exhaust brake.

 

Not often I tow less then 10k. I changed my brakes at 100,000 miles. I let the trailer do most of the braking because it has the load. Well, I don't know where you got 1100 $ at, but you can do this for next to nothing.

 

with the trailer its fine. but if im useing the repo lift the car or truck has no brakes to activate from the truck.

here is a auction for a exhaust brake
PacBrake PAC Exhaust Brake 1999 Ford Powerstroke 7.3:eBay Motors (item 200027555461 end time May-31-09 15:56:14 PDT)

 

if you are useing dp tuner which one are you useing? there are a few options on his page

 

I have the F-5. If I was buying it for the first time, I would get the F-6, in order to get tunes by e-mail. I have LIVE tuning, that is the best.

 

ok for the most part the truck is stock. no mods to the exhaust , intake , or anything like that. is the f6 a plug and play or a flip chip.

 

ok just read about it, its a 1-16 position chip. i guess this doesnt go in the computer and is more of a piggyback? and can he have it set to tow with the exhaust brake option? sorry many questions. have a tuner now and i think its junk.

 

Before you get the DP, you need to get exhaust, intake, gauges, let me find the thread that Chase answered all the questions on. Ok, here it is, Click here

 

well i do have guages , trans , egt , boost. stock air intake with k and n filter. havent been sure which air intake i like the most yet

 

OK, you have the right gauges. You need to pull the K&N out as soon as you can. Our trucks suck more air then the K&N can supply, also it will dust your turbo wheel. A good inexpensive intake is the 6637, thats what lots of us have on here. I tell you what, give this guy a call and he will help you out. These guys have done the trial and error on the 7.3, they know what is the best way to go on mods. Clay will give you the best price on what you need, Click on this. Call the number in the link. He is well liked on here and he has help so many people on here.

 

what about the k and n cold air intake kit or s nd b kit ? i just like the fact they have air box's
