BD Diesel E-PAS Emergency Engine Shutdown - 16-17 Chevy 2.8L Canyon/Colorado

BD Diesel is known for making robust performance and safety parts for diesel trucks. If your work or driving conditions require an emergency engine shutdown system, their E-PAS (Electronic Positive Air Shutdown) unit is a solid option. This system is designed to cut off the air supply to your diesel engine, preventing ignition and safely stopping it within seconds. This is especially important in industries like mining, oil refining, or forestry where external hydrocarbons could potentially be drawn into the engine, causing a dangerous runaway condition that could lead to catastrophic failure and put you and your vehicle at risk.

The E-PAS system uses an electronic throttle body control on your 2016-2023 Chevrolet Colorado's 2.8L engine. When activated, it closes the throttle body, effectively starving the engine of air. The components are built with aluminum and stainless steel, and feature weatherproof electrical connectors to resist corrosion. Installation is made easier with factory plug-in connectors and premade wiring harnesses, and it doesn't require any welding thanks to innovative bead boot locks. You can expect the installation to take less than 1.5 hours, and it automatically resets itself after a shutdown. Plus, it can be easily removed if you need to return a leased truck.

Think of this system like a fire extinguisher for your engine – it's always better to have it and not need it. It's designed to prevent serious engine damage and protect you in the rare event of an engine over-speed condition.
