BD Diesel Brake - 1999-2003 Ford 7.3L PowerStroke Air/Remote 4in c/w Compressor

BD Diesel has been a trusted name in diesel performance for decades, known for robust components that handle the demands of heavy-duty trucks. This air-operated exhaust brake is designed specifically for your 1999-2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the 7.3L PowerStroke engine, offering a significant boost in control when descending grades with a trailer. It works by restricting exhaust flow, creating back pressure that helps slow the engine down, reducing wear on your service brakes and improving safety.

This isn't just a simple butterfly valve; BD's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology and spring-loaded cylinder pressure regulation work together to provide up to 150 retarding horsepower across the engine's RPM range. The rugged cast-iron housing is built to withstand the harsh, high heat conditions of the exhaust system, and it incorporates BD's exclusive AlumiBronze bushing and a positive sealing piston ring to prevent carbon and rust buildup, ensuring a leak-free operation for miles to come. The stainless steel butterfly shaft and valve resist corrosion, making this a well-built component designed for longevity.

This kit comes complete with the exhaust brake valve assembly, a durable air compressor that can even be used for other applications like air horns or airbags, air tubing, regulator, control assembly, and all necessary mounting hardware made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. For automatic-equipped trucks prior to 2006, you'll want to consider BD's AutoLoc and PressureLoc kits to optimize torque converter clutch engagement for peak performance and lower transmission temperatures. Installation instructions are included, and most kits also feature an EGT port for monitoring exhaust gas temperatures.
