Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1037144 Exhaust Brake is a heavy-duty, vacuum-actuated, remote-mount exhaust brake designed for 1994–1997 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke applications running a 4-inch exhaust. When you’re towing heavy on long grades, service brakes overheat fast—this BD exhaust brake adds confident downhill control by creating reliable retarding power to help you hold speed, reduce brake fade, and cut wear on pads, rotors, and trailer brakes.
Built around BD’s proven variable regulating back-pressure design in a rugged cast-iron housing, this remote-mount configuration is ideal for inline installation in a 4-inch exhaust system. It’s a strong solution for trucks that need controlled braking on demand without relying solely on the service brakes when towing, hauling, or descending steep grades.

FAQ
What does an exhaust brake do for towing?
An exhaust brake increases engine back-pressure to create retarding force, helping control downhill speed with less service brake input—especially useful for heavy trailers and long descents.
Is this a turbo-mount exhaust brake?
No. This is a remote-mount brake designed to install inline in the exhaust system.
Does this work with a 4-inch exhaust system?
Yes. This brake is designed for 4-inch exhaust applications and should be installed where a 4-inch section is present at the mounting location.
