FAQ

What does this exhaust brake do?

The BD Diesel exhaust brake increases back pressure in the exhaust to slow vehicle speed on steep grades, reducing reliance on service brakes and improving control while towing.

Is this compatible with all Dodge 5.9L Cummins trucks?

Yes — this model is designed specifically for 1989–1998 Dodge 5.9L Cummins 12-valve engines where a remote, vacuum-actuated brake is appropriate.

Does installation require an APPS sensor?

No — this “no-APPS” model functions without an APPS throttle position sensor, making it ideal for older 12-valve trucks.
