The BD Diesel Brake, part number 1027330, is a heavy-duty exhaust brake designed for optimal retarding performance in demanding diesel applications. Constructed with rugged cast-iron housing and featuring BD’s exclusive alumibronze bushing and piston ring seals, this exhaust brake ensures durability and leak-free operation even under extreme high-heat conditions. It mounts either in place of the factory elbow between the turbo and exhaust system or inline within the exhaust pipe, providing versatile installation options for a range of vehicle configurations. The brake integrates with most modern diesel engines, controlling exhaust flow to slow the vehicle safely on descents and reducing wear on service brakes, which helps prevent costly repairs caused by overheating and brake fade. Equipped with a durable air compressor, the system can be used for auxiliary applications such as air horns, air bags, or air-ride components, making it a multi-functional component for fleet vehicles.
The BD Diesel Brake communicates seamlessly with the engine’s electronic control modules, providing smooth, automatic engagement with remote or manual switches. It offers up to 150 horsepower of retarding force across the engine’s RPM range, making it highly effective for heavy-duty towing and fleet operations. The device features BD’s proprietary variable orifice technology and spring-loaded cylinder pressure regulation, ensuring precise control and consistent performance. All mounting hardware is corrosion-resistant stainless steel, designed to withstand harsh environments, and the system includes a port for monitoring retarding performance and optional EGT access. This brake is ideal for trucks that require reliable, high-performance exhaust retarding without the need for aftermarket turbo modifications or complex electronic controls.
Designed for longevity and ease of maintenance, the BD Diesel Brake is a proven industry leader in exhaust retarding technology, offering reliable performance for demanding diesel applications. Whether used for downhill engine braking or to reduce transmission and brake wear, this system helps ensure safer, more controlled driving in challenging conditions, enhancing overall vehicle safety and operational efficiency.
