Put Confidence Back Into Every Downhill Tow

If you tow heavy or spend time on steep grades, the BD Diesel 1027347 5-Inch Electronic Exhaust Brake gives your RAM the braking control you need without the complexity of air systems. This brake adds up to 150 retarding horsepower to help slow your truck confidently, reducing stress on your service brakes and giving you better control during long descents or stop-and-go trailer hauling. It connects directly to your factory exhaust system and works with your OEM dash switch, giving you seamless integration and quick access when you need extra stopping power. Unlike traditional setups, there’s no compressor or airlines to deal with, which means fewer failure points and much less maintenance over time. The result is smoother braking performance that you can count on in real-world towing situations. Whether you're hauling heavy equipment, a camper, or a large enclosed trailer, this system makes your driving experience safer and more predictable. For drivers who tow often, this upgrade delivers peace of mind every time you hit the road.

Proven Exhaust Braking Built For Heat And Load

The BD Diesel 5-Inch Electronic Exhaust Brake is engineered to handle high heat, heavy loads, and daily towing demands without compromise. It features BD’s exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, which regulates back pressure across the engine's RPM range for smooth, consistent braking performance. Housed in durable cast iron, this system includes a stainless steel butterfly shaft, alumibronze bushing, and piston ring seals, components chosen for their ability to withstand the harshest exhaust environments. Its solid offset butterfly design and pneumatic spring-loaded cylinder deliver reliable actuation under load, giving your Cummins-powered RAM the extra stopping power it needs. This system connects through the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS), or with a micro switch setup if your truck does not use APPS. While it’s not designed for OEM VGT turbos, it works great with aftermarket non-VGT setups. Everything needed for installation is included, and with a 24-month, 24,000-mile parts warranty, it's built to perform where it matters most.
