[A/S] Torq loc Vs AutoLoc



As many of you know, my truck is Ford F250 Super Duty with the diesel engine.

Two years ago I had a BD exhaust brake installed and a "torqlok"   I am 100% 
thrilled with set up....

It wasn't cheap $1,500, but worth every penny.

Then a few months back Tom Patterson, and his lovely wife Marilyn, came to 
visit me.

He has the same truck and a BD brake & torq loc too, only he had two toggle 
switches and I only had one. Huh????

He questioned that maybe they didn't put in the torq loc but charged me for 
it.

I forgot about it until, when looking for something else, I came across my 
receipt....

It says BD Brake and "Autoloc"

So, I just called and asked why I didn't have two toggle switches. He 
explained that he sells 100 autolocs to every torq loc.   Mine does it 
automatically so I can't screw up and hurt something, he said people 
sometimes forget where they are with the troq locs and can tear something up 
if they screw up.

I'm writing this to tell Tom, but also if any of you are planning to get an 
exhaust brake you might ask about the torq loc verses the auto loc.
