BD Diesel 2033143 Exhaust Brake for 1994-1997 Ford 7.3L Turbo Mount Vacuum Actuated

The BD Diesel 2033143 Exhaust Brake is engineered specifically for 1994-1997 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke diesel engines with vacuum-actuated turbos. This turbo-mounted exhaust brake provides powerful engine braking performance to enhance vehicle control and reduce wear on your service brakes during descents and heavy towing.

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 delivers up to 150 retarding horsepower consistently throughout the engine's RPM range—not just at high RPM like hole-based designs. This means reliable braking power exactly when you need it most.

Built for Durability:

• Rugged cast-iron housing designed to withstand extreme exhaust temperatures
• Stainless steel butterfly valve and rotating shaft resist corrosion and oxidation
• Exclusive alumibronze bushing for long-lasting smooth operation
• Piston ring-seals maintain consistent pressure and performance
• Stainless steel mounting hardware throughout for corrosion resistance

Installation & Compatibility Notes:

Average installation time is approximately 3.5 hours. BD Diesel recommends using their Exhaust Back Pressure Test Gauge Kit (1030050) during setup for optimal performance. For trucks with automatic transmissions, an AutoLoc or lower stall converter is suggested for best results. This product meets EPA reasonable basis requirements and is legal for federal use (EMS:2), but is not for sale on California-licensed vehicles.

Warranty Coverage:

Parts: 24 months/24,000 miles | Labor: 12 months/12,000 miles
