What is the Engine-Exhaust Brake?
The Engine-Exhaust Brake has become an integral part of the Super Duty’s turbocharger. When activated by flipping a switch located at the top left of the centre stack, the engine brake will automatically adjust the vanes on the exhaust side of the turbocharger in order to generate engine pressure.
While the Engine-Exhaust Brake is on, extra braking power will require less manual brake application, especially while travelling on downhill grades. This provides extra control of the truck and the trailer while you’re driving downhill. By keeping the truck and trailer under control at a steady pace, the system reduces the amount of time spent using the truck’s brakes, which in turn helps to reduce needed maintenance.
