BD Diesel Exhaust Brake Variable Regulating Back-Pressure System

BD Diesel Exhaust Brake Variable Regulating Back-Pressure System BD Diesel presents the industry-proven Variable Regulating Back-Pressure Exhaust Brake — engineered to increase safety, reduce service-brake wear, and deliver reliable downhill control for trucks towing trailers. Key Benefits Improved vehicle control: Smooth, consistent engine braking reduces reliance on service brakes and minimizes brake fade on long descents. Durable construction: Rugged cast-iron housing with exclusive AlumiBronze bushing and positive-sealing piston ring for miles of leak-free retarding. Reliable actuation: Brake valve actuated by an air cylinder (newer kits) or a powerful vacuum cylinder (earlier models). Complete kit: Most kits include the brake unit, air compressor (where applicable), mounting hardware, performance monitor port, and EGT port on many models. Simple Installation & Compatibility Mounting options accommodate most applications: a turbo-mount design replaces the factory elbow between the turbo and exhaust, or an inline design installs between the engine and muffler/DPF/catalyst. Controlled via a lighted on/off toggle switch or optional stick-mounted rocker for manual transmissions. Advanced Features Engine communication: Interfaces with the engine’s electronic idle verification board for fast, consistent engagement. Optional Control Kits: For automatic trucks (pre-2006), programmable AutoLoc and PressureLoc kits optimize torque converter clutch control to reduce slippage and lower transmission temperatures. Versatile air compressor: Later-model compressors are heavy-duty and usable for air horns, air bags, or air-ride hitches. Choose BD Diesel’s Variable Regulating Back-Pressure Exhaust Brake for proven retarding power, long service life, and safer towing performance.
