'97 F250 Jake Brake?

Can anyone tell me if there is an engine brake or jake brake kit out for the '97 F250 7.3L super duty (early production model) and if so where I can find one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Several companies make engine brakes for our trucks. Banks is one that make them. You can also convert your EBPV into an exhaust brake with a simple single pole single throw switch and a 12v source wire.

Actual engine brakes (like the Jacobson or Cummins C-Brake) that make such a cool BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR as you slow down are not available as far as I know and if they were I don't think you could fit the additional parts and taller valve covers in the truck. Hydraulic lifters are an issue as well.

The exhaust brakes speeddemon31176 refers to are readily available, you even have most of the parts you need to make one if you have not gutted your exhaust back pressure valve.
