The BD Diesel TapShifter & Exhaust Brake (Ford F250/F350 6.0L 2003-2007) provides fingertip gear control with a factory-style lever and integrated electronic exhaust brake, enhancing your driving experience in various situations. This kit offers a seamless way to manage your truck's transmission and braking power.
This innovative system combines two essential functionalities:
-
TapShifter: Gain immediate gear control with a simple tap of your finger using the included factory-looking shift lever. This feature is beneficial for:
-
Passing: Execute quick and smooth downshifts for enhanced acceleration.
-
Pulling: Maintain optimal engine RPM and prevent gear hunting when towing heavy loads.
-
Hill Climbing: Select and hold the ideal gear for tackling inclines.
-
General Driving: Experience more direct control over your transmission's behavior.
