The Banks Power Brake is an exhaust brake system designed to enhance vehicle control, particularly when hauling heavy loads or navigating downhill slopes. It utilizes a large-bore housing to maximize airflow and minimize backpressure. A computerized brake control (CBC) module automatically adjusts brake engagement based on throttle position, eliminating noise and ensuring smooth operation at low speeds. The pressure actuator is built with durable materials to withstand harsh environments. Banks Brake is factory-tested and requires no calibration.
Note: Automatic transmissions necessitate the SmartLock Trans Brake. Banks Brake and Banks Power Elbow cannot be installed concurrently on the same vehicle.
