How does the Variable Vane Exhaust Brake work?

This system uses your truck's existing variable vane turbocharger. It electronically closes the turbocharger vanes to create exhaust back pressure, which resists the engine's rotation and slows the vehicle down. This provides engine braking without relying solely on your service brakes.

What are the different modes on the rotary switch?

The rotary switch offers three modes: automatic, moderate, and aggressive. These modes can be programmed for the Allison transmission to provide tailored engine braking force and control, helping you maintain speed on descents and curves.

What is included with the BD Diesel Variable Vane Exhaust Brake?

The kit includes the VVB module, harness, an in-dash push-to-engage button switch, a switch bracket, a switch decal, tape, dielectric grease, and necessary hardware for installation.

Product Details

If you're driving a 2008-2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the 6.4L engine, this BD Diesel Variable Vane Exhaust Brake is designed to give you more control, especially when towing or going downhill. It works by using the variable vane turbocharger already in your truck to create back pressure, which helps slow the vehicle down. This means you can maintain your speed more easily on descents and curves, giving you a safer and more comfortable driving experience.

The system electronically closes off the turbocharger vanes, generating up to 70 PSI of exhaust back pressure and creating up to 130 retarding horsepower. This braking force helps reduce wear on your service brakes and gives you better command of your truck and its load. It integrates seamlessly with your truck's cruise control system, automatically adjusting to maintain your set speed. You also get a dash-mounted rotary switch with three modes: automatic, moderate, and aggressive. These modes can be programmed for the Allison transmission, offering tailored braking for different situations, and it works with manual shift selections too.

Installation is straightforward, as it's designed to plug into existing factory ports, and the dash switch mounts easily. This setup offers significant engine braking capability that, with other systems, might require two separate components and a much longer installation time. It comes with a 12-month or 24,000-mile warranty for peace of mind.
