BD Diesel 2033137 Exhaust Brake Vacuum Actuated Turbo Mount Dodge - 1999-2002 5.9L

The BD Diesel 2033137 is a high-performance vacuum-actuated exhaust brake designed specifically for 1999-2002 Dodge 5.9L Cummins diesel engines with turbo mounting. Built on nearly three decades of exhaust brake engineering expertise, this system delivers superior engine braking power for safer descents and reduced wear on your service brakes.

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 engine's entire RPM range—not just at high RPM like competitive designs with fixed orifices.

Rugged Construction for Extreme Conditions

Engineered to withstand the harsh, high-heat exhaust environment, this brake features a rugged cast-iron housing with BD's proprietary alumibronze bushing and piston ring seals. The butterfly valve and rotating shaft are constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. All mounting hardware is stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance.

Important Installation Notes:

This exhaust brake is designed for trucks with factory turbochargers. Vehicles with aftermarket turbos (except BD Killer B) require a remote mount exhaust brake instead. For automatic transmissions, BD recommends installing an AutoLoc for electronic lock-up converters, or a lower stall converter for manual or non-lock-up converters. An exhaust back pressure test gauge kit is recommended for proper setup and tuning.
