BD has been building exhaust brakes for almost 30 years. Its Variable Orifice Technology combines a solid offset butterfly, a spring-loaded cylinder and pressure regulation to give up to 150 retarding horsepower across the rpm range, not only at high rpm.
The housing is cast iron, with BD's alumibronze bushing, piston-ring seals and a stainless steel butterfly and shaft to stand up to exhaust heat and corrosion.
This version is air actuated and mounts at the turbo.
Owners of 2004.5-2005 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 (325 hp engine) trucks who tow or drive mountain grades and want more braking without leaning on the service brakes.
