BD Diesel Brake - 2003-2007 Ford 6.0L PowerStroke Manual Trans

When you're hauling heavy loads or navigating steep downhill grades in your 2003-2007 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the 6.0L PowerStroke engine and a manual transmission, controlling your speed safely is paramount. Overheated service brakes and trailer brakes can lead to dangerous fade, excessive wear, and costly repairs. This BD Diesel exhaust brake is designed to help you manage your speed more effectively, reducing reliance on your conventional brakes and extending their life.

BD Diesel has been a leader in exhaust braking for decades, and this unit incorporates their Variable Orifice Technology. This system works by restricting exhaust flow, creating back pressure that helps slow the engine and thus the vehicle. It's engineered to provide up to 150 retarding horsepower across the engine's RPM range, offering consistent performance whether you're crawling down a mountain or just managing speed on a long incline. 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 under the harsh, high-heat conditions found in the exhaust system. The butterfly valve and rotating shaft are constructed from stainless steel to resist corrosion. This kit includes the brake assembly, an air compressor (which can be used for other applications like air horns or airbags), all necessary mounting hardware made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and control components for engagement via a toggle switch.

For manual transmission trucks, this exhaust brake engages with a simple toggle switch. The kit comes complete with everything needed for installation, including the brake valve, air compressor, air tubing, regulator, control assembly, brake control module, wiring kit, and a vacuum pump relocation kit. BD Diesel backs this exhaust brake with a 24-month or 24,000-mile warranty, giving you confidence in its durability and performance.
