BD DIESEL 1036760 E-PAS POSITIVE AIR SHUT-OFF 2016–2023 2.8L CANYON/ COLORADO

Product Description

The BD DIESEL 1036760 E-PAS Positive Air Shut-Off is a critical safety component designed for 2016–2023 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks equipped with the 2.8L Duramax diesel engine. Diesel engine runaway—caused when external hydrocarbons enter the intake tract and cause uncontrollable overspeeding—is rare but can lead to catastrophic engine failure and serious safety risks. The BD Diesel E-PAS mitigates this risk by electronically closing off the intake air supply, safely shutting down the engine when triggered.

It operates without setting ECM trouble codes and automatically resets after a shutdown event. Designed for ease of removal—ideal for leased vehicles—this unit acts as a safeguard, equivalent to having a fire extinguisher onboard, providing peace of mind in emergency situations.
