Banks' exhaust brake system is a direct-mount, no-maintenance solution that utilizes electronics to monitor engine and transmission parameters for optimal braking efficiency. It significantly reduces downhill speeds without engaging wheel brakes, which keeps them cool for emergencies and extends their service life. The system also optimizes exhaust flow when not in use and features a fast warm-up function for extended brake durability. Additionally, automated brake disengagement at low speeds ensures smooth stop-and-go driving. For automatic transmissions, Banks SmartLock is included to lock the torque converter and raise line pressure, facilitating a smooth decrease in vehicle speed while safeguarding the transmission. The system includes a cast, large-bore brake housing assembly, a high-force vacuum actuator, a belt-driven vacuum pump with a serpentine belt for quiet operation, a large butterfly valve with a super-alloy shaft and bearing system, a wire loom, and mounting hardware. This system offers smooth and controlled downhill descents with the quickest braking response time among exhaust brakes. The vacuum pump also operates quietly without exceeding normal engine noise.
