Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1028140 Exhaust Brake is a premium universal retarder system designed for diesel trucks with a 4.0-inch exhaust. This remote-mount, air-actuated exhaust brake with included air compressor enhances vehicle control and safety by providing up to 150 retarding horsepower to slow your vehicle on steep grades and heavy loads without over-relying on service brakes.
Built with rugged cast-iron housings, stainless-steel butterfly shaft, and exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, this exhaust brake is engineered to withstand high heat and strenuous use in the exhaust environment. The integrated air compressor and pneumatic actuation provides consistent brake performance while the inline design mounts easily between the engine and downstream exhaust components.
