BD Diesel Brake - 2003-2005 Dodge Air/Remote 4in

BD Diesel has been making exhaust brakes for nearly 30 years, and they've learned a thing or two about controlling heavy trucks on steep grades. If you're driving a 2003-2005 Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500, this air-actuated exhaust brake can make a big difference when you're towing or hauling. Descending grades with a trailer can be tough on your service brakes, leading to overheating, brake fade, and costly repairs. This BD Brake helps you manage your speed without constantly relying on your foot brake.

This particular model is designed to mount inline in your exhaust system, between the engine and the muffler or DPF. It features BD's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, which uses a solid, offset butterfly valve controlled by a spring-loaded cylinder and pressure regulation. This setup provides up to 150 retarding horsepower across the engine's RPM range, not just at high RPMs. The housing is made of rugged cast iron, incorporating BD's AlumiBronze bushing and a positive sealing piston ring to prevent carbon and rust buildup, ensuring a leak-free performance. The stainless steel butterfly shaft and valve resist corrosion, standing up to the harsh conditions of the exhaust environment. This kit also includes a durable air compressor, which can be useful for other applications like air horns or airbags, and a port to monitor the brake's retarding performance.

For automatic-equipped trucks prior to 2006, you'll need BD's AutoLoc and PressureLoc kits to electronically control torque converter clutch engagement for optimal performance and lower transmission temperatures. All necessary mounting hardware, made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, is included, along with complete instructions. This kit is a well-built solution to help you control your truck more effectively on descents.
