BD Diesel TapShifter - Chevy 2003-2005 Duramax Allison 1000 - Button Gear Selection

If you've got a 2003-2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD with the Duramax engine and an Allison 1000 transmission, this BD Diesel TapShifter kit is designed to give you more control over your gear selection. It lets you manually shift gears with buttons right on the shifter, similar to how newer trucks operate. This is really handy when you need to quickly downshift for passing, climbing a steep hill, or when towing and you want to keep the engine in its power band.

This kit includes a new gear shift lever that's shaped to be more comfortable and less likely to bump your knee. It also comes with a control module and a wiring harness that uses factory plug-in connections, making the installation cleaner and more straightforward. Having this fingertip control can be especially useful when you're using an engine retarder, like BD's own exhaust brake, as it allows for more precise management of your speed and engine braking.

BD Diesel has been a well-known name in the diesel performance world since the late 80s, starting with exhaust brakes. They have a comprehensive approach to diesel performance parts, focusing on areas like fuel injection, transmissions, and turbochargers. This TapShifter kit is a good example of their focus on improving the drivability and control of your diesel truck.
