The BD Diesel 1027146 is a remote-mount, air-actuated exhaust brake specifically engineered for 2003-2007 Ford 6.0L Power Stroke diesel engines with manual transmissions. This heavy-duty braking system features a 4-inch valve design and includes a complete air compressor kit for reliable operation.
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 entire engine RPM range. Unlike competing designs that rely on holes or additional components, BD's proven design provides consistent braking power from low to high RPM.
Built for Extreme Conditions:
The rugged cast-iron housing incorporates BD's proprietary alumibronze bushing, piston ring-seals, and a stainless steel butterfly shaft engineered to withstand the harsh, high-heat exhaust environment. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel butterfly valve and rotating shaft ensure long-term durability and reliable performance.
