BD Diesel Cool Down Timer Kit v2.0 – Part # 1081160
$343.99
Turbochargers operate at high temperatures. The Cool Down Timer is designed to keep the engine running when the ignition is turned off to prevent turbocharger bearing failure that could occur when the engine is shut down, stopping the cool lubricating oil flowing to the turbocharger while it is still hot. If the oil flow is shut off too early, the remaining oil in the bearing housing will overheat causing coking of the bearings which causes both premature bearing wear and reduced oiling of the bearings. Allowing the engine to idle to a minimum operating speed gives the turbocharger time to cool down. The CDT is adjustable for up to 5 minutes of idle time, or optionally works with any K-Type EGT probe for temperature-based shutdown.

The BD Diesel Cool Down Timer Kit v2.0 is an essential component designed to protect turbochargers from premature bearing failure caused by excessive heat during engine shutdown. Operating at high temperatures, turbochargers require a controlled cool-down period to prevent oil coking in the bearing housing, which can lead to reduced lubrication, increased wear, and ultimately, turbocharger damage. The CDT2 control module and wiring harness work together to keep the engine idling for up to five minutes after shutdown, allowing residual heat to dissipate safely. This feature is especially critical in high-performance diesel applications, including Ford PowerStroke, Dodge Cummins, and Chevy Duramax engines, where turbo reliability is paramount.
The adjustable timer provides flexibility, and the system’s compatibility with any K-Type EGT probe enables temperature-based shutdown for precise thermal management. The kit includes all necessary components such as the control module, wiring harness, cable ties, Posi-Tap connectors, and ring terminals for straightforward installation. Its design ensures seamless integration with most OEM security alarms and is suitable for vehicles without push-button start systems. By preventing turbo damage during hot engine shutdown, this timer helps extend turbocharger lifespan and maintain optimal engine performance even under demanding operating conditions.
Installation should adhere to manufacturer recommendations, and proper wiring is essential for reliable operation. The device is engineered for use in a variety of diesel trucks, emphasizing durability and thermal management to support fleet and heavy-duty use. Whether used in daily driving, towing, or high-performance scenarios, the BD Diesel Cool Down Timer Kit v2.0 provides a critical safeguard against turbocharger failure and promotes long-term engine health.
