BD Diesel Brake - 1989-1998 Dodge 60psi Vac/Turbo Mount

When you're towing a heavy load down a steep grade, especially with a trailer, you need more than just your service brakes. Relying solely on them can lead to overheating, brake fade, and costly repairs. That's where an exhaust brake like this BD Diesel unit comes in. It works by restricting exhaust flow, creating back pressure that helps slow your engine down, giving your service brakes a much-needed break. This particular model is designed for 1989-1998 Dodge trucks with the Cummins engine, fitting a range of vehicles including the D250, D350, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500.

BD Diesel has been a leader in exhaust brakes for nearly 30 years, and this unit benefits from that extensive experience. It features BD's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, which provides consistent retarding power throughout the engine's RPM range, not just at high speeds. The rugged cast-iron housing is built to withstand the harsh, high-heat environment of your exhaust system. Inside, you'll find BD's exclusive AlumiBronze bushing and a positive sealing piston ring, designed for leak-free performance and to prevent carbon buildup. The butterfly valve and rotating shaft are made from stainless steel to resist corrosion, and the unit includes a powerful vacuum cylinder to actuate the brake.

This kit comes complete with the exhaust brake assembly, a vacuum cylinder, air tubing, and all necessary mounting hardware, which is made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. For automatic-equipped trucks prior to 2006, you may need BD's AutoLoc and PressureLoc kits to optimize performance and transmission temperatures. This BD exhaust brake is a well-built solution to help you control your vehicle safely on descents, reducing wear on your service brakes and giving you more confidence on the road.
