When you are towing a heavy trailer or hauling weight down steep grades, having extra braking power can make all the difference. The BD Diesel 1028050 Exhaust Brake is built to give you confidence by delivering up to 150 retarding horsepower right when you need it. Instead of relying solely on your service brakes, this unit uses exhaust back pressure to slow your truck more safely and with greater control. The result is less wear on your brake pads and rotors, fewer white-knuckle moments on downhill stretches, and a smoother towing experience overall. Drivers who spend time in the mountains or regularly handle heavy loads will quickly appreciate the peace of mind this brake provides. It is a universal design for 5-inch exhaust systems, making it a go-to solution for many diesel applications. With all the necessary hardware included, BD Diesel makes it straightforward to add stopping power that works as hard as your truck does.
The BD Diesel 1028050 Exhaust Brake is engineered with durability and performance in mind. At its core is BD’s exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, which ensures consistent braking force throughout the RPM range. The pneumatic spring-loaded cylinder works in sync with an offset butterfly design to deliver reliable and smooth exhaust restriction. A rugged cast-iron housing provides the strength needed to handle extreme exhaust heat, while an aluminum bronze bushing and stainless steel butterfly shaft add long-term durability. Piston ring seals are built into the design to prevent leaks and maintain efficiency under constant pressure. Every kit comes with grade-quality mounting hardware for a secure fit and reliable operation. Since this brake does not require an EO number, it is legal for sale and use in all 50 states, making it a worry-free choice. For those running aftermarket non-VGT turbos, this system is a proven solution for safe and dependable engine braking.
