BD Diesel 1036758 E-PAS Electronic Positive Air Shut-Off for Chevy 6.6L Duramax

The BD Diesel E-PAS (Electronic Positive Air Shutdown) system provides critical protection against diesel engine runaway—a rare but catastrophic event where external hydrocarbons are drawn into the engine, causing uncontrolled overspeeding and potential engine destruction. This emergency shutdown system acts as essential safety equipment for your Duramax-powered vehicle.

How It Works:

Unlike mechanical shutdown systems, the E-PAS electronically controls the factory throttle body in the intake manifold, closing it to immediately cut off the air supply to the cylinders during emergency situations. By starving the engine of air, the E-PAS safely brings the engine to a controlled stop, protecting your engine, vehicle, and occupants from harm.

Key Features:

• Emergency overspeed shutdown protection utilizing the built-in intake air control valve
• Factory plug-in connectors and pre-made wiring harnesses for clean installation
• Quick installation in approximately 1 to 1.5 hours—saves 3+ hours compared to mechanical systems
• Automatically resets itself after shutdown sequence completes
• Does not trigger ECM trouble codes during normal operation
• Only the dashboard switch requires tools to install
• Easily removable for truck lease returns without permanent modifications
• 50-state legal—no California EO required due to safety-focused design

Application:

Designed specifically for Chevrolet 6.6L Duramax engines in 2008-2010 pickup trucks, 2008-2015 LMM-LGH vans, and 2011-2012 LGH cab-chassis applications.

Warranty Coverage:

Includes 24-month/24,000-mile parts warranty. Replacement parts included with kit.

Like a fire extinguisher or emergency kit, the BD Diesel E-PAS is protection you hope to never need but will be grateful to have when it matters most.
