BD Diesel Brake - 2003-2007 Ford 6.0L PowerStroke Auto Trans 4in Exhaust

When you're hauling a heavy load down a steep grade, controlling your speed without overheating your service brakes is crucial. This BD Diesel exhaust brake is specifically designed for your 2003-2007 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the 6.0L PowerStroke engine and an automatic transmission. It works by restricting exhaust flow, creating back pressure that helps slow the engine down, giving you more control and reducing wear on your regular brakes.

BD Diesel has been making exhaust brakes for a long time, and this unit uses their Variable Orifice Technology. This means it can provide significant retarding horsepower throughout the engine's RPM range, not just at high speeds. The housing is made of rugged cast iron, and it features BD's exclusive AlumiBronze bushing and a positive sealing piston ring to ensure a leak-free operation even in the harsh, high-heat environment of the exhaust system. The butterfly valve and shaft are stainless steel to resist corrosion. This kit includes a robust air compressor, which can even be used for other accessories like air horns or airbags. For automatic transmissions on trucks prior to 2006, this kit also includes the AutoLoc and PressureLoc components to manage torque converter clutch engagement, which helps maximize retarding performance and keep transmission temperatures down.

This comprehensive kit comes with everything you need for installation, including the brake assembly, air compressor, all necessary mounting hardware made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and detailed instructions. It also includes a port to monitor the brake's performance and an EGT port, which is handy for monitoring exhaust gas temperatures. This is a well-built system designed to give you confidence when descending grades with a trailer.
