BD Variable Vane Exhaust Brake fits 2006 - 2007 Chevy GMC 6.6L
Duramax LBZ. Part # 2001020.
With the change in technology as the newer truck models rolled
out of the plant, BD has changed as well to apply our over 20-years of braking
technology to match. With the newer Chevy Duramax engines, the change was already
there, we just had to utilize it for your engine retarding needs.
The same Garrett variable vane turbo design is used in the 2004.5-up
Duramax engine to reduce turbo lag and increase power can also help slow you
down. BD utilizes the variable technology built into the turbo by closing off
the vanes while retarding creating up to 35psi of back pressure.
What does this give you?
Ample retarding horsepower to help maintain your speeds on descents
and curves giving you better control of your truck and load.
How do you use it?
While in Tow/Haul mode, switch BDs Variable Vane Brake on and
every time you let off the throttle it will close the variable vanes in the
turbo which develops exhaust back pressure in the engines combustion chamber,
creating resistance against the piston from reaching top dead center.
Is it easy to install?
YES! Most of the connection is done via an existing diagnostic
port on the engine making for an easy and clean installation.
Is it hard on your truck?
Not at all BD has designed their brake to not make harsh downshifts
into lower gears that can cause tire chirp and drive train strain. The Variable
Vane Exhaust Brake is also firmware updateable via the internet using your computer's
USB connection and is the perfect fit for your Duramax towing needs.
