Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1024310 Exhaust Brake is engineered to deliver strong engine retardation performance on 2001–2010 Chevy & GMC Duramax 6.6L trucks with stock exhaust systems. By harnessing BD’s proven Variable Orifice Technology and a rugged cast-iron housing, this exhaust brake increases retarding horsepower and helps reduce service brake wear when towing or descending steep grades.
Designed with a solid, offset butterfly and pressure regulation system, the 1024310 generates up to approximately 150 lb-ft of retarding force across the RPM range — not just at peak RPM — offering controlled deceleration under load. The robust construction includes stainless butterfly shafts and corrosion-resistant hardware for long life in high-temperature exhaust environments.

What does this exhaust brake do?
This exhaust brake uses a variable orifice design to create back pressure, which increases engine retardation force and helps slow the vehicle more effectively while reducing wear on service brakes.

Yes — it fits 2001–2010 Chevy/GMC Duramax 6.6L trucks with the stock exhaust system.
Does this require additional controls?
The kit typically includes the necessary mounting hardware and, where applicable, air actuation components. Additional switches or pressure controllers may be installed depending on the application.
