BD Diesel Positive Air Shutdown Manual

2013–2017 Ram 2500/3500 5.7L Hemi, 6.4L 392, 6.7L Diesel

Part #: 1036724-M

Overview

The BD Diesel Positive Air Shutdown (PAS) Manual system is a critical safety device designed for emergency engine shutdown in heavy-duty Ram trucks equipped with 5.7L Hemi, 6.4L 392, and 6.7L Diesel engines from 2013 to 2017. This system is essential for industries where rapid engine shutdown is necessary to prevent damage or hazards, such as mining, oil refining, forestry, mobile welding, septic removal, and refueling operations. By cutting off the air supply to the engine, the PAS system effectively stops fuel ignition, ensuring the engine halts immediately and safely.

BD Diesel’s PAS solution offers a reliable and efficient method to meet stringent safety requirements, providing peace of mind for operators working in demanding environments. Its manual activation and robust design make it a dependable choice for emergency shutdown needs.
