BD Diesel Torq/UnLoc Kit Ford 1999-2003 7.3L Dodge Chev 6.5LT

This BD Diesel Torq/UnLoc Kit gives you command over your truck's torque converter lock-up clutch. You get the main control unit, a toggle switch for manual control, and the necessary wiring to connect it all. This kit is designed to work with a range of popular diesel trucks, including models like the Ford 7.3L Power Stroke, Dodge 5.9L Cummins, and GM 6.5L Turbo Diesel, helping you manage transmission temperatures and get the most out of your exhaust brake.

The main benefit here is preventing excessive heat buildup in your automatic transmission, especially when using an exhaust brake. Normally, the torque converter can slip, generating a lot of heat and reducing the effectiveness of the retarding force. This kit allows you to keep the torque converter locked up, ensuring nearly 100% of the exhaust brake's retarding force is transferred and keeping transmission oil temperatures down. You can set it to stay locked, revert to stock operation, or use the AutoLoc feature, which locks the converter only when the exhaust brake is active – a great setting for everyday driving. There's also an option to prevent upshifts into overdrive, which is handy for city driving.

With this kit, you can avoid situations where the engine control module might engage the lock-up clutch at speeds that aren't optimal, or when it would cause the clutch to cycle in and out. This means smoother operation and better control over your transmission's performance, particularly under load or when using your exhaust brake.
