BD Diesel 2023144 Exhaust Brake Air Actuated Turbo Mount 1999-2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke

The BD Diesel 2023144 is a turbo-mounted, air-actuated exhaust brake engineered specifically for 1999-2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke diesel engines. This performance braking system provides enhanced vehicle control and reduced brake wear when towing or descending steep grades.

Variable Orifice Technology:

BD Diesel's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology utilizes 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 competitive designs. This consistent braking power gives you predictable, reliable performance in any driving condition.

Built for Durability:

The rugged cast-iron housing features BD's proprietary alumibronze bushing, piston ring seals, and a corrosion-resistant stainless steel butterfly shaft designed to withstand extreme exhaust temperatures and harsh operating conditions. All mounting hardware is stainless steel for maximum longevity.

Complete Kit Includes:

• Turbo-mount exhaust brake assembly with cast-iron housing
• Air compressor for brake actuation
• All necessary stainless steel mounting hardware
• Installation instructions

Installation & Compatibility:

Professional installation recommended (approximately 4 hours). BD Diesel suggests using exhaust back pressure test gauge kit 1030050 for optimal brake setup. For vehicles with automatic transmissions, installing an AutoLoc electronic lock-up controller or lower stall converter is recommended for best performance.
