Product Features
4 inch Remote Mount Air Exhaust Brake
Dodge Cummins 5.9L
(2006-2007) Automatic Transmission
The Original BD Exhaust Brake.
Incorporating
BD's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, the BD Brake provides up to
150 retarding horsepower throughout the engine's RPM range - not just
at high rpm like other brands. The rugged, cast-iron housing
incorporates BD's exclusive alumibronze bushing and piston ring-sealed,
stainless steel butterfly shaft that has proven to stand up under the
harsh, high-heat conditions of the exhaust environment. The BD Brake is
the most widely-recognized exhaust brake in the industry for one simple
reason: it's the best!
BD
Exhaust Brake Features:
- The exclusive BD alumibronze
bushing and a stainless steel shaft that incorporates 3 piston rings
prevents exhaust leakage and the butterfly shaft from sticking open or
closed.
- BD's spring loaded air cylinder ensures the butterfly
always returns to the open position and the quick release valve is
designed for a smooth butterfly opening cycle.
- BD's butterfly,
rotating shaft, lever, brackets and all mounting hardware are made of
corrosion resistant stainless steel.
Descending grades with
trailers can be hazardous and tricky situations, resulting in over
heated service and trailer brakes, that leads to brake fade, excessive
wear, and costly unwarranted repairs. BD Engine brake has been the
industries time proven VARIABLE REGULATING BACK-PRESSURE EXHAUST BRAKE.
Controlled by a lighted On/Off toggle switch or optional
stick-mounted rocker switch for manual transmissions, the BD brake
communicates with the engine’s electronic idle verification board for
quick engagement.
How it works: Using BD’s
exclusive Variable butterfly Technology, providing peak retarding power
throughout the engine’s rpm range unlike some models that rely on a
hole/orifice within the butterfly to calibrate back-pressure only in the
higher engine RPM .
Where it mounts: Most
vehicle applications will either have BD’s turbo-mount design which
bolts in place of the factory elbow between the turbo and the exhaust
system or the inline design mounts in the exhaust system between the
engine and muffler/DPF/cat.
For modified Turbo and engine applications: Got a modified or
twin-turbo application? BD offers a remote mount exhaust brake that
incorporates all of our standard technology found in our turbo mount
units in a 4” free flowing design that won’t impede the exhaust flow and
performance enhancements you worked so hard to achieve.
The advantage to regulating the butterfly vs. other brands is:
The Butterfly is constantly exercising thus reducing the possibility of
carbon and rust deposit forming that can cause premature ware and
binding. Furthermore no maintenance or lubricating is required providing
miles of trouble free service.
The BD Brake’s rugged cast-iron
housing incorporates BD’s exclusive AlumiBronze bushing and positive
sealing piston ring, no blind holes for carbon and rust to form, and
miles of leak free retarding.
Stainless steel butterfly shaft that has proven to stand up
under the harsh, high-heat conditions of the exhaust environment, the
offset butterfly valve won’t stick, and has been strategically placed in
the elbow so that it won’t impede exhaust flow when in the open
position.
Brake valve is actuated by an air cylinder (newer models) or a powerful,
three-inch vacuum cylinder (earlier models). The durable air compressor
included in later model kits can even be used for other applications,
such as air horns, air bags even air-ride fifth wheel hitches - it’s
that tough.
Automatic-equipped trucks prior to 2006 require BD’s
programmable AutoLoc and PressureLoc kits to electronically control
torque converter clutch engagement. This addition effectively reduces
slippage, resulting in peak retarding performance as well as lower
transmission temperatures.
All BD Brake kits come complete with the brake, air compressor
(where applicable), mounting hardware, port to monitor the brake’s
retarding performance, complete instructions and most models come with
EGT
Exhaust Gas Temperature
port.
