BD Diesel Exhaust Brake Variable Vane - Chevy 2006-2007 LBZ Duramax

When you're hauling a heavy load or heading down a steep grade, having a reliable way to slow your truck is crucial. This Variable Vane Exhaust Brake from BD Diesel is designed to work with the variable geometry turbocharger found in your 2006-2007 LBZ Duramax-powered Chevrolet or GMC truck. It uses the turbocharger's vanes to create significant back pressure, effectively slowing your engine and helping you maintain a safe speed without constantly riding the brakes. This is especially helpful for trucks equipped with the Allison transmission, offering modes for moderate and aggressive downshifting to enhance control during descents.

The system electronically closes the turbocharger's vanes, generating up to 130 retarding horsepower. This braking force helps keep your truck and its load under control on descents and curves, reducing wear on your service brakes and giving you more confidence behind the wheel. It also integrates with your cruise control system, allowing it to automatically adjust speed to maintain your set pace, whether you're accelerating or decelerating. Installation is straightforward, as it plugs into existing factory ports and includes a dash-mounted rotary switch for easy operation. This setup provides a comprehensive engine braking solution that would typically require multiple components from other manufacturers.

Included in the package are the main wiring harness, module, switch wiring harness, switch bracket, tape, switch decal, and all necessary hardware for installation. This exhaust brake is backed by a 12-month or 24,000-mile warranty, offering peace of mind with your purchase.
