Give Your Power Stroke a Brake!
BD Diesel Performance has been engineering and installing Power
Stroke exhaust brakes ever since the first engines rolled off
the production lines in 1994—in fact, they have set the standards for
the industry! Today, BD Diesel Performance not only offers its
famous BD Brake for ’99-’01 7.3 liter applications, but is the
FIRST and ONLY company to offer an exhaust brake for the 6.0
liter Power Stroke— both manual and automatic applications!
The BD Brake for the 6.0 Power Stroke kit features electronic
controls that effectively communicate with the engine’s Variable
Geometry Turbo and EGR valve. Automatic applications also
include our Auto/Towloc system that increases the transmission
clutch apply pressure, and holds the converter clutch engaged at
a lower speed than would be possible with the stock
configuration. Just push the Tow/Haul button and relax—the BD
Brake will apply as the transmission downshifts, slowing down
your 14,000 lb. load without ever having to touch the brake
pedal!
The BD Brake offers retarding power without compromise. Their
testing has revealed that the Power Stroke engines have an
extremely durable top end, with hydraulic lifters that easily
open 140-lb. valve springs. The 40 lbs. of backpressure the BD
Brake generates is far below what this engine can handle, so
there is no risk of “valve float.”
Designed for years of reliable operation, the BD Brake’s rugged
cast-iron housing incorporates BD’s exclusive AlumiBronze
bushing and piston ring-sealed butterfly shaft that has proven
to stand up under the harsh, high-heat conditions of the exhaust
environment.
BD’s exclusive Variable Orifice Technology utilizes an air
cylinder on current models, or a spring-loaded piston in a
powerful, three-inch vacuum cylinder on the earlier 7.3 engines
to actuate the offset stainless steel butterfly valve. Exhaust
backpressure is maintained at a maximum of 45 psi (180 retarding
horsepower) throughout the engine’s working rpm range. If
excessive backpressure develops, the valve opens automatically
to regulate sufficient backpressure. The BD Brake provides
superior retarding performance that starts at only 1200 rpm,
with peak retarding power achieved by 1800 rpm! From there, it
just holds on right through the rpm range.
BD Brake systems designed for earlier 7.3 liter trucks are
actuated by vacuum, while later 7.3 and 6.0 liter trucks utilize
air pressure from an on-board air compressor, included with the
kit. All BD Brake kits come complete with all necessary hoses,
brackets, mounting hardware and instructions.
