The BD Diesel Exhaust Brake (Part Number 2023144) is a high-performance, heavy-duty air brake system designed to provide reliable engine retarding power across a variety of heavy-duty trucks, including 2000-2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty models. Engineered with durability and efficiency in mind, this exhaust brake features a rugged cast-iron housing that withstands the intense heat and harsh conditions of diesel exhaust environments. Its exclusive alumibronze bushing and positive sealing piston ring ensure leak-free operation and long-term performance, minimizing maintenance needs and ensuring consistent braking performance.
This exhaust brake is controlled via a convenient On/Off toggle switch or an optional stick-mounted rocker switch, allowing manual operation that communicates with the vehicle’s electronic idle verification system for quick engagement. Most applications utilize BD’s turbo-mount design, which replaces the factory elbow between the turbocharger and exhaust system, or an inline configuration that mounts directly in the exhaust pathway between the engine and downstream components such as the muffler or DPF. The integrated air cylinder (or vacuum cylinder in earlier models) actuates the brake valve, providing precise control for optimal retarding efficiency. The included durable air compressor can serve multiple auxiliary applications, such as air horns, air bags, or air-ride hitches, adding versatility to your setup.
Designed specifically for severe fleet duty and towing applications, this exhaust brake can deliver up to 150 horsepower of retarding force throughout the engine’s RPM range. It features BD’s exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, which modulates back-pressure for smooth and effective braking. All mounting hardware is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring longevity and resistance to the elements. This system is ideal for drivers seeking enhanced safety during descending grades, reduced brake wear, and improved overall drivetrain reliability, making it a trusted choice among heavy-duty truck operators.
