The BD Diesel 2023330 is a high-performance air-actuated exhaust brake engineered specifically for 2006-2007 Dodge trucks equipped with the 5.9L Cummins diesel engine. This turbo-mounted brake system delivers exceptional engine braking power to improve vehicle control and reduce wear on your foundation brakes during descents and towing.
Variable Orifice Technology
Featuring BD Diesel's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, this exhaust brake utilizes a solid, offset butterfly design with a spring-loaded cylinder and precision pressure regulation to provide up to 150 retarding horsepower throughout the entire engine RPM range. Unlike competing designs that only perform at high RPMs, BD's system delivers consistent braking power when you need it most.
Built for Durability
Constructed with a rugged cast-iron housing designed to withstand extreme exhaust temperatures, this brake incorporates BD's proprietary alumibronze bushing, piston ring-seals, and a corrosion-resistant stainless steel butterfly shaft and valve. All mounting hardware is manufactured from stainless steel to ensure long-term reliability in harsh conditions.
