BD DIESEL 2001100 BRAKE VARIABLE VANE EXHAUST FORD POWER STROKE 2008–2010 6.4L

Product Description

The BD DIESEL 2001100 Variable Vane Exhaust Brake harnesses the factory variable geometry turbocharger on 2008–2010 Ford 6.4L Power Stroke engines to provide effective engine braking and speed control on descents. By electronically closing the turbocharger vanes, the system creates significant retarding force — helping control vehicle speed and reduce brake wear when towing or driving downhill.

Installation is simple, requiring connections to existing factory wiring and a dash-mounted control switch. The design integrates seamlessly with cruise control functions and does not significantly alter normal engine operation.

FAQ

How does the variable vane exhaust brake work?

It uses the variable geometry turbocharger vanes to restrict exhaust flow electronically, producing backpressure that slows the engine and vehicle — acting as an engine brake.

Does it work with cruise control?

Yes. The brake integrates with cruise control for automatic speed control during descents and load conditions.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is straightforward and typically takes about 1–2 hours using basic tools and the provided wiring harness and switch.
