BD Diesel 2033135 Exhaust Brake Vacuum Actuated Turbo Mount Dodge - 60PSI 1994-1998 5.9L

The BD Diesel exhaust brake delivers proven braking performance for 1994-1998 Dodge trucks equipped with 5.9L Cummins engines. This turbo-mounted, vacuum-actuated exhaust brake provides up to 150 retarding horsepower throughout the engine's RPM range, giving you confident control on steep grades and mountain descents.

Variable Orifice Technology:

BD Diesel's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology uses a solid, offset butterfly design with a spring-loaded cylinder and pressure regulation system. Unlike competitors that rely on drilled holes or complex multi-part assemblies, BD's single-piece design delivers consistent braking power across the entire RPM range—not just at high RPM.

Built for Durability:

• Rugged cast-iron housing engineered to withstand extreme exhaust temperatures
• Exclusive alumibronze bushing and piston ring-seals for long-term reliability
• Stainless steel butterfly valve and shaft resist corrosion and high-heat degradation
• Corrosion-resistant stainless steel mounting hardware included

Installation and Warranty:

Estimated install time is 3 hours. BD Diesel backs this exhaust brake with a 24-month/24,000-mile parts warranty and 12-month/12,000-mile labor warranty.
