BD Exhaust Brake for 1999 - 2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke. 4" Exhaust, Remote Mount, Air Activated
Part # 1027144
The Original Exhaust Brake for Diesel Pick-Up Applications!
Increase your driving confidence and towing safety with the superior
retarding performance of the BD Brake. Using BDs exclusive Variable Orifice
Technology, BDs turbo-mount design bolts in place of the factory elbow between
the turbo and the exhaust system, providing peak retarding power throughout
the engines rpm rangenot just at high rpm like other brands. Our remote-mount
models, meanwhile, mount in the exhaust pipe and are perfect for modified applications
that may use an aftermarket turbo.
Designed for years of reliable operation, the BD Brakes rugged
cast-iron housing incorporates BDs exclusive AlumiBronze bushing and piston
ring-sealed, stainless steel butterfly shaft that has proven to stand up under
the harsh, high-heat conditions of the exhaust environment. Actuated by an air
cylinder (newer models) or a powerful, three-inch vacuum cylinder (earlier models),
the offset butterfly valve wont stick, and has been strategically placed in
the elbow so that it wont impede exhaust flow when in the open position. The
BD brake incorporates a threaded port for mounting an EGT probe, as well as
a 1/4-inch stainless steel port that can be used to monitor the brakes retarding
performance. Got a modified or twin-turbo application? BDs remote-mount or
vacuum-actuated four-inch kits are an effective solution.
Controlled by a lighted On/Off toggle switch for automatic transmissions,
or stick-mounted rocker switch for manual transmissions, the BD brake communicates
with the engines electronic idle verification board for quick engagement. The
durable air compressor included in later model kits can even be used for other
applicationsits that tough.
Automatic-equipped trucks prior to 2006 require BDs programmable
Tow-Loc and Pressure Loc kits to electronically control torque converter clutch
engagement. This addition effectively reduces slippage, resulting in peak retarding
performance as well as lower transmission temperatures. All BD Brake kits come
complete with the brake, air compressor (where applicable), mounting hardware
and complete instructions.
Trucks with automatic transmission should use a TowLoc, AutoLoc
or TorqLoc for best retarding results.
