Descending grades with trailers pose risks, straining brakes and leading to issues like overheating, brake fade, and costly repairs. BD Engine Brake offers a proven solution – the Variable Regulating Back-Pressure Exhaust Brake. Controlled by a convenient toggle or optional rocker switch, it engages swiftly through electronic idle verification.
Mounting seamlessly, either turbo-mount or inline, the cast-iron housing ensures durability with BD's exclusive alumibronze bushing and piston ring. Actuated by air or vacuum cylinders, the kit includes a robust compressor for versatile applications. For pre-2006 automatic trucks, BD's AutoLoc and PressureLoc kits enhance performance. Every BD Brake kit includes necessary components for easy installation and monitoring.
Key Features:
- Ideal for applications with aftermarket performance turbos that can't accommodate a turbo-mount exhaust brake.
