Re: [a/s] Exhaust brakes and mountains



Hi Sandy,
 
     I pulled out the manual, and I have the BD TorqLoc Converter.  It comes with a 3-way toggle switch.  Off, On when the exhaust brake is activated, and On manually.
     Apparently there are some slight differences in operation between your Dodge BD brake, and the Ford BD brake, but with all vehicles, it says that the transmission should be taken out of overdrive below 40 mph to prevent a shudder when the speed is reached at which the TorqLoc unit disengages.  This speed is somewhere around 25-30 mph.
