Getting to the top of a hill or driving up those mountain roads just isn't an issue, especially when you've outfitted your PowerStroke's with a number of aftermarket performance gaining upgrades. But coming down, that could be a tricky thing especially if you're towing a big load! Have the hindsight for the Banks Brake!
This amazing exhaust brake slows your truck without the use of your wheel brakes, all while protecting your engine and transmission from unwanted damage. The Banks Brake is available for PowerStroke's with either stock exhaust or Banks Monster Exhaust.
If you have an automatic transmission your Banks Brake will require the SmartLock, an advanced computer module that keeps your transmission in check. The SmartLock looks your torque converter and simultaneously raises transmission-line pressure to smoothly reduce vehicle speed all while prolonging the life of your transmission by eliminating excessive clutch slippage and cooling your transmission fluid.
Banks takes time to make sure all of their products offer the best to you and your vehicle. This exhaust brake, known simply as the Banks Brake, is no exception. Designed to produce stronger braking than any other exhaust brake, the Banks Brake has a large-bore housing that is streamlined to increase airflow and diffuse exhaust which in turn adds to engine power while not in use. This achievement means the Banks Brake not only brings you to a stop when you need it most, but also that you'll still be able to enjoy all the power you've built into your 7.3L PowerStroke's.
