FAQ
What does this exhaust brake do?
It increases engine braking force by creating back pressure in the exhaust, helping slow the vehicle without excessive service brake use.
Is this universal brake compatible with all diesel trucks?
It is compatible with most diesel trucks that use a 3.0-inch exhaust and have onboard air actuation. Some custom fitting may be required.
Does it include the air compressor?
Not always. Ensure your onboard air system can supply actuation pressure or add an air compressor if needed.
