Gain Control And Confidence Every Time You Tow

When you are pulling a heavy trailer or hauling equipment through steep grades, you need more than just your factory brakes to feel secure. The BD Diesel 1028035 Exhaust Brake is built to give your truck the stopping power it has been missing, delivering up to 150 retarding horsepower to help slow things down safely. Instead of constantly riding your service brakes and risking overheating or premature wear, this system uses exhaust back pressure to take on the load. The difference is immediate, you get smoother descents, better control, and peace of mind knowing your brakes are no longer working overtime. It is a universal solution, making it a practical option for a wide range of diesel trucks and motorhomes. With all the hardware included, installation is straightforward and designed to get you back on the road quickly. For anyone who tows regularly or spends time in the mountains, this upgrade makes driving safer, easier, and less stressful.

Built Strong With Technology That Stands The Test Of Time

The BD Diesel 1028035 Exhaust Brake combines proven engineering with durable materials to deliver long-lasting performance in demanding environments. At the core of the system is BD’s exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, ensuring consistent braking across the full RPM range rather than only at high revs. A pneumatic spring-loaded cylinder and offset butterfly design provide smooth, reliable restriction, while the cast-iron housing withstands the extreme heat of the exhaust system. Components such as an aluminum bronze bushing, stainless steel butterfly shaft, and piston ring seals add extra protection against wear and leakage. These details make the brake dependable under constant heavy use, whether you are towing, hauling, or navigating challenging terrain. The kit comes complete with all the necessary mounting hardware, simplifying the installation process. Legal for use in all 50 states, this exhaust brake delivers the performance and durability diesel owners demand, backed by decades of BD’s experience in braking technology.
