BD Diesel E-PAS Emergency Engine Shutdown - Chevy 2008-2010 6.6L

If your work involves industries like mining, forestry, or mobile welding, having an emergency engine shutdown system in place is often a requirement. The most effective way to stop a diesel engine in an emergency is to cut off its air supply, preventing ignition. BD Diesel's Electronic Positive Air Shutdown (E-PAS) system does just that by quickly closing a butterfly valve in the air intake line when activated.

This E-PAS unit is designed to work with the electronic throttle body found on many modern diesel engines, including those in Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans from 2008-2015, and Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500 HD trucks from 2008-2012. It features aluminum and stainless steel components with weatherproof connectors to resist corrosion, and uses innovative bead boot locks for installation, meaning no welding is needed on the hose retaining beads. The system automatically resets itself after a shutdown and can be easily removed if needed, making it a practical choice for leased vehicles.

Diesel engine runaway, though rare, can happen if the engine ingests external hydrocarbons, leading to over-speeding and potential catastrophic failure. This system acts like a safety net, cutting off the air supply to safely shut down the engine and protect your vehicle, yourself, and others. Installation is straightforward, often taking less than 1.5 hours with factory plug-in connectors and pre-made wiring harnesses, and it won't set ECM trouble codes.
