BD DIESEL 1037143 EXHAUST BRAKE 1994-1997 FORD 7.3L POWER STROKE VAN/TRUCK REMOTE MOUNT / VACUUM ACTUATED

Product Description

The BD DIESEL 1037143 Remote Mount Exhaust Brake is built for 1994–1997 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke van and truck applications running a stock exhaust system. When you’re towing on long grades, service brakes can overheat fast—leading to brake fade, accelerated wear, and costly repairs. A true exhaust brake adds controlled backpressure to help slow the vehicle safely, reducing reliance on the brake pedal and helping keep temps under control.
