Construction & Design

The BD Diesel Electronic Exhaust Brake features robust engineering with high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting durability and reliable performance. Its inline electronic design integrates seamlessly with the vehicle’s exhaust system, utilizing precision components that regulate exhaust flow electronically. The Variable Orifice Technology is a standout innovation, allowing the brake to modulate pressure smoothly and consistently throughout the engine’s RPM range, preventing abrupt braking and enhancing driver control.

All components are engineered to withstand harsh operating environments typical of heavy-duty diesel trucks, including exposure to heat, vibration, and road debris. This ensures the brake maintains optimal function over time, even under demanding towing conditions.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the BD Diesel Electronic Exhaust Brake is straightforward due to its electronic inline design that does not require an air compressor or air lines. This reduces the complexity and time typically associated with exhaust brake installations. The brake is a direct fit for the following vehicles:

• 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L Diesel
• 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 5.9L Diesel
