Product Description
The BD DIESEL 2001030 Variable Vane Exhaust Brake transforms the turbocharger’s variable vanes in your 2007.5–2010 Silverado or Sierra LMM Duramax 6.6L into an effective engine braking system. By electronically closing off the turbocharger vanes, this brake creates controlled backpressure that delivers significant retarding force, helping maintain speed on steep descents and improve overall vehicle control under load.
This system plugs directly into the factory connectors and integrates with your cruise control for automatic acceleration and deceleration, maintaining engine speed and braking force without driver intervention. It installs easily with minimal modification and includes all necessary hardware and switch assembly for dashboard placement.
