BD Diesel Positive Air Shutdown - Dodge 2013-2014 6.7L

The butterfly valve in this BD Diesel Positive Air Shutdown system is made from aluminum and stainless steel components, designed to cut off the air supply to your diesel engine. This is a critical safety device, especially for vehicles used in industries like mining, oil refineries, or forestry where uncontrolled engine over-speeding, known as diesel runaway, can occur if the engine ingests flammable hydrocarbons. By quickly closing off the air intake, this system ensures fuel ignition ceases, safely shutting down the engine and protecting both the vehicle and its occupants.

BD Diesel has simplified the design with a compact butterfly valve that reduces the number of parts compared to other systems. It features weatherproof electrical connectors to resist corrosion and a unique bead lock system that secures the boots in place without requiring any welding, making installation more straightforward. The kit also includes automatic over-speed electronics and specific CAC pipes for certain applications, ensuring a more complete setup for your Ram truck.

Having a system like this is akin to having a fire extinguisher or an emergency kit – it's about being prepared for rare but potentially catastrophic events. It's a well-built safety measure that can prevent serious damage and hazards should the worst-case scenario of diesel runaway occur.
