Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1027348 Electronic Exhaust Brake is a heavy-duty braking solution designed for 2013–2024 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins. Installed directly into a 4.0-inch exhaust system, this electronically controlled exhaust brake provides powerful retarding force to control vehicle speed while towing, descending grades, or hauling heavy loads.
Unlike factory turbo-based exhaust braking alone, this BD Diesel exhaust brake adds an additional level of braking force by restricting exhaust flow downstream of the turbocharger. The result is improved downhill speed control, reduced reliance on service brakes, and increased braking confidence under heavy towing conditions. Electronic actuation ensures smooth, reliable operation without driver fatigue.

FAQ
What does an exhaust brake do?
An exhaust brake restricts exhaust flow to create backpressure, slowing the engine and vehicle during deceleration—especially useful for towing and downhill control.
Does this replace the factory exhaust brake?
This system supplements factory braking by adding downstream exhaust restriction, increasing overall braking effectiveness.
Is this suitable for heavy towing?
Yes. This exhaust brake is designed specifically for towing, hauling, and mountainous terrain where braking control is critical.
