The BD Diesel 2033143 brake is a heavy-duty exhaust brake designed specifically for diesel-powered trucks, providing reliable retarding performance during descending grades with trailers. This vacuum-actuated exhaust brake is engineered for maximum durability and efficiency, with a rugged cast-iron housing that withstands the high-heat environment typical of diesel exhaust systems. Its exclusive AlumiBronze bushing and positive sealing piston ring prevent leaks and carbon buildup, ensuring long-lasting operation. The brake features a variable orifice technology that allows precise control over retarding force, delivering up to 150 horsepower reduction across the engine’s RPM range. The system mounts either turbo or inline, depending on your vehicle configuration, making installation versatile for various Ford models from 1995 to 1997, including F-250 and F-350 trucks.
Operation is facilitated by an air compressor included in most kits, which can also serve other air applications such as air horns or air-ride components. The easy-to-use control switch allows for quick engagement, communicating seamlessly with the engine’s electronic systems for optimized performance. For older models prior to 2006 with automatic transmissions, BD offers programmable AutoLoc and PressureLoc kits that electronically manage torque converter clutch engagement to enhance retarding performance and reduce transmission heat. All necessary mounting hardware, a monitoring port, and detailed instructions are included for straightforward installation and maintenance.
Designed to stand up to the demanding conditions of fleet and heavy-duty use, this BD Diesel brake ensures consistent, reliable brake performance, helping prevent brake fade and excessive wear on service brakes during long downhill descents. It is an essential component for fleet operators and heavy-duty truck enthusiasts seeking improved safety, control, and durability in their exhaust braking system.
