BD Diesel 1037144 Exhaust Brake for Ford Power Stroke Remote Mount Vacuum Actuated - 1994-1997 7.3L

The BD Diesel 1037144 Exhaust Brake is engineered specifically for 1994-1997 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke diesel engines with 4-inch exhaust systems. This remote-mount, vacuum-actuated exhaust brake provides superior engine braking performance, delivering up to 150 retarding horsepower throughout the engine's RPM range to help control vehicle speed on steep grades and reduce brake wear.

Variable Orifice Technology:

BD Diesel's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology uses a solid, offset butterfly design with spring-loaded cylinder and pressure regulation to provide consistent braking power across the entire RPM range—not just at high RPM like competitive designs with holes or bypasses.

Durable Construction:

• Rugged cast-iron housing built for harsh exhaust environments
• Stainless steel butterfly valve and rotating shaft resist corrosion and high heat
• Exclusive alumibronze bushings for long-lasting performance
• Piston ring seals ensure reliable operation
• Corrosion-resistant stainless steel mounting hardware included

Installation and Warranty:

Estimated installation time is 4 hours. Includes a 24-month/24,000-mile parts warranty and 12-month/12,000-mile labor warranty. BD Diesel recommends using their Exhaust Back Pressure test gauge kit (1030050) for proper setup. For trucks with automatic transmissions, consider adding an AutoLoc for electronically controlled lock-up converters, or a lower stall converter for manual or non-lock-up transmissions.
