Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1027145 Exhaust Brake is a heavy-duty performance retarding system designed for 2003–2007 Ford 6.0L Power Stroke trucks equipped with a manual transmission. This remote-mount, air-actuated valve system adds significant engine braking capability — giving you better control on descents, reduced service brake wear, and improved overall drivability when towing or hauling heavy loads.
Built with rugged cast iron construction and BD’s exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, the exhaust brake uses an offset stainless steel butterfly and air cylinder actuation to provide consistent retarding horsepower across the RPM range. The included air compressor and complete hardware mounting kit make installation straightforward, and stainless steel components resist corrosion under extreme exhaust temperatures.
