BD Diesel 1024310 Exhaust Brake for 2001-2010 Duramax 6.6L

The BD Diesel 1024310 is a premium exhaust brake system designed specifically for 2001-2010 GM Duramax 6.6L diesel engines with stock exhaust systems. Built on nearly three decades of engineering experience, this exhaust brake delivers exceptional retarding power and control for safer descents and reduced brake wear.

Variable Orifice Technology

BD Diesel's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology sets this exhaust brake apart from the competition. The solid, offset butterfly design with spring-loaded cylinder and pressure regulation provides up to 150 retarding horsepower consistently throughout the entire engine RPM range—not just at high RPM like hole-based designs. This means reliable stopping power whether you're at highway speeds or crawling down a steep grade.

Built for Extreme Conditions

The rugged cast-iron housing incorporates BD's proprietary alumibronze bushings, piston ring seals, and a stainless steel butterfly shaft engineered to withstand the punishing heat and pressure of the exhaust environment. The butterfly valve and rotating shaft are constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel for long-term durability. All mounting hardware is stainless steel to prevent rust and corrosion.

Complete Kit with Air Compressor

This kit includes an air compressor for pneumatic actuation, providing quick engagement and reliable operation. The system integrates seamlessly with your truck's existing controls for convenient operation.
