Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1027144 Exhaust Brake is engineered to enhance control and safety for 1999–2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke trucks by adding a powerful, air-actuated remote mount 4″ exhaust valve system complete with an air compressor. Industrial-grade design with variable orifice technology delivers improved retarding power across the RPM range, helping reduce brake fade on long descents and heavy towing.
BD Diesel’s exhaust brake system uses advanced variable orifice technology and robust cast components to provide up to 150 lb-ft of retarding capability without restricting exhaust flow when open. The kit includes all necessary hardware and an integrated air compressor for reliable actuation. Built to handle harsh heat and high stress, this system helps extend traditional service brakes’ life and enhances vehicle control under load.
