BD Diesel Brake - 1994-1997 Ford 7.3L Vac/Turbo Mount

When you're hauling heavy loads or heading down a steep grade, controlling your truck's speed without constantly riding the service brakes is crucial. This BD Diesel exhaust brake kit is designed specifically for your 1994-1997 Ford F-350 with the 7.3L engine. It includes the main brake valve assembly, the necessary control components, a vacuum spool valve kit, and a DFIV application kit, giving you a complete system to enhance your downhill control.

This turbo-mount exhaust brake bolts between your turbocharger and the exhaust system, utilizing a solid, offset butterfly valve made of stainless steel to resist corrosion. The rugged cast-iron housing incorporates BD's exclusive AlumiBronze bushing and a positive sealing piston ring, designed to prevent carbon and rust buildup and ensure a leak-free seal. The brake valve is actuated by a powerful vacuum cylinder, providing up to 150 retarding horsepower throughout the engine's RPM range. This helps reduce wear on your service brakes and trailer brakes, preventing overheating and costly repairs.

For automatic transmissions on trucks prior to 2006, you'll want to consider BD's AutoLoc and PressureLoc kits to optimize torque converter clutch engagement for peak retarding performance and lower transmission temperatures. This kit comes with the brake assembly, control components, mounting hardware, and a port to monitor the brake's performance, along with complete instructions.
