SmartLock® Trans Brake
(Vehicles with automatic transmissions) Banks' electronic braking device automatically activates when conditions call for braking. SmartLock locks the torque converter and simultaneously raises transmission-line pressure, to smoothly reduce vehicle speed. Besides saving wear-and-tear on your service brakes, SmartLock prolongs automatic transmission durability by increasing its holding capacity, eliminating excessive clutch slippage, and cooling transmission-fluid temperatures.

7.3L brake, smart-lock, exhaust, chip
2009-11-20
Just wanted to drop a note and let you know how much I appreciate your products.
In 2007, you installed an exhaust brake, Smart-Lock, Monster Exhaust and a chip (Big Hoss Module) in my 2001 Ford F-250 4x4.
This last November, my wife and I took the month off and traveled throughout Northern California, Western Nevada and the Eastern Sierra region of California with our 7,500-pound Prowler travel trailer in tow. We covered approximately 4,000 miles. The horsepower boost from the chip and exhaust was appreciated on the upgrades, and the exhaust brake more than earned its keep on the many long downgrades. I have never felt so in control of my rig!
Congratulations!!! Your equipment took what had been a good tow vehicles and made it an awesome two vehicle!!! I have heartedly recommended your products to my other diesel pickup owning friends and clients.
If I ever wear out the '01, I'll be back for the same treatment for its replacement.
