BD Diesel 1027345 Exhaust Brake Remote Air System 5.0in Cummins 6.7L Dodge 2007.5-2017

The BD Diesel 1027345 exhaust brake is designed for 2007.5-2017 Dodge Ram trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine and non-VGT (Variable Geometry Turbo) aftermarket turbos. This remote air-actuated system is ideal when an aftermarket performance turbo prevents installation of a traditional turbo-mount exhaust brake.

Variable Orifice Technology:

Incorporating BD's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, this exhaust brake features a solid, offset butterfly valve with spring-loaded cylinder and pressure regulation to deliver up to 150 retarding horsepower throughout the engine's entire RPM range—not just at high RPM like competitor designs. The system provides consistent, powerful braking performance for improved control on steep grades and mountain roads.

Rugged Construction:

• Cast-iron housing engineered to withstand extreme exhaust temperatures
• Stainless steel butterfly valve and rotating shaft resist corrosion
• Exclusive alumibronze bushing and piston ring-seals for durability
• All mounting hardware constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel
• 5.0-inch diameter for optimal flow and braking performance

Complete Kit Includes:

• Air compressor for pneumatic actuation
• All necessary mounting hardware
• Estimated installation time: 4 hours

Compatibility Notes:

• Compatible with Bully Dog and H&S tuners (tested)
• May have compatibility issues with EFI Live (EZ Lynk) or HP Tuners—verify before purchase
• Can work on 2018+ models but requires special engine tuning (see installation manual)
• If truck has no factory exhaust brake switch on dash, order BD kit 1027340 instead
• BD recommends exhaust back pressure test gauge kit 1030050 for proper setup

• Parts: 24 months / 24,000 miles
• Labor: 12 months / 12,000 miles
