Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1037136 Remote Mount 4" Exhaust Brake is built to deliver strong, predictable retarding power for 1998.5–2002 Dodge 5.9L Cummins trucks using APPS. Long downhill grades with a trailer can overheat service brakes fast—this BD vacuum-actuated system helps you control speed, reduce brake fade, and improve downhill confidence while towing or hauling.
Designed for remote inline mounting in the exhaust system, this 4" brake is an ideal solution for builds that need flexibility—especially trucks running non-stock turbochargers or modified configurations. BD’s proven variable back-pressure control provides strong braking response across the RPM range while maintaining flow when the valve is open, so you keep the performance you built the truck for.
