This is more than a simple add on its a purpose built engine braking system born from nearly 30 years of BD engineering, crafted to deliver precise, fuel efficient engine braking across the entire RPM range for steady downhill deceleration. Variable Orifice Technology:

Experience confident downhill control and fatigue-free towing with the BD Diesel Exhaust Brake designed specifically for the Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999–2003) using an Air Turbo Mount. This is more than a simple add-on — it’s a purpose-built engine braking system born from nearly 30 years of BD engineering, crafted to deliver precise, fuel-efficient engine braking across the entire RPM range for steady downhill deceleration.

  • Variable Orifice Technology: BD’s exclusive design works with pressure regulation to produce up to 150 retarding horsepower across the full RPM spectrum. That means smooth, reliable braking whether you’re cruising, climbing, or roaring down long grades.
  • Consistent braking you can feel: A solid offset butterfly paired with a spring-loaded cylinder minimizes surge and hesitation, so your braking force stays steady no matter how you’re loaded or what terrain you’re tackling.
  • Rugged, heat-tolerant construction: Cast-iron housings, a BD-exclusive alumibronze bushing, piston ring-seals, and a stainless steel butterfly shaft stand up to the harsh heat and corrosive exhaust environment you encounter on demanding towing days.
  • Reliability in every condition: Corrosion-resistant stainless mounting hardware and a complete high-durability package designed to endure years of heavy use in tough road and weather conditions.
  • Easy actuation with an air compressor: Most kits include an air compressor for reliable actuation, simplifying installation and ensuring consistent brake response when you need it.
  • Straightforward installation: Engineered for the Ford 7.3L Power Stroke with an air-turbo mount configuration, the setup typically comes together in about 4 hours.
  • Solid warranty for peace of mind: Backed by 24 months/24,000 miles on parts and 12 months/12,000 miles on labor, so you can tow with confidence.

What’s included, compatibility, and installation

This BD Diesel Exhaust Brake is designed for the 1999–2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke with an air-turbo mount configuration. The installation is straightforward for experienced installers and typically takes about four hours. Important compatibility notes include: it’s not suitable for early 1999 PowerStrokes (built before 03/21/1999) and it’s not available for licensed California vehicles. For trucks with automatic transmissions, you may need an AutoLoc for electronic lock converters, or a lower stall converter if lock-up isn’t present. To dial in peak performance, the Exhaust Back Pressure test gauge kit 1030050 is recommended for setup and tuning.

Performance in the real world: This exhaust brake actively reduces turbo boost and engine load on steep descents, helping you maintain control and prevent brake fade during long grades. It shines when towing heavy trailers, navigating mountain passes, or cruising in hilly terrain where traditional brakes can heat up and wear quickly. By delivering consistent engine braking across RPMs, it also helps maintain steadier engine temperatures and promotes longer drivetrain life when used on extended downgrades.

Durability you can feel on tough days: The combination of heavy-duty cast-iron housing, BD’s alumibronze bushing, piston seals, and a stainless-steel shaft is engineered to endure the heat, exhaust corrosives, and rugged road conditions you’ll encounter during demanding towing days. Paired with corrosion-resistant mounting hardware, this system is built to stay reliable under the harshest working conditions.

Who benefits most:

  • Heavy-tow operators pulling large trailers through mountains or long downhill stretches
  • Diesel enthusiasts who demand stable, consistent braking without over-reliance on the service brakes
  • Owners of 7.3L Power Stroke trucks seeking enhanced engine braking performance that works across the full RPM range

Tips for best results: For optimal performance, pair the system with the recommended exhaust back pressure tuning gauge (kit 1030050) to fine-tune braking responsiveness. If your truck uses an automatic transmission, consider AutoLoc options for electronic lock converters or a lower stall converter if needed. Regular inspection of the mounting hardware and seals helps ensure long-term reliability in harsh weather and road conditions.

Built on the BD Diesel heritage, this exhaust brake balances power and reliability for serious towing tasks. It delivers targeted engine braking where you need it, reduces brake heat on long descents, and extends drivetrain longevity — so you can focus on the road ahead with confidence.

Very nice, but sizing is inconsistent
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Ivory/White/British Tan
All of these Cole Haan shoes are extremely well made and I like the styling. On the other hand, the sizing is very inconsistent and you may end up having to do a lot of returns trying to find the right size. Then if you get a different color of it, you may find the sizing different yet again. If you find your right zie, they are really nice shoes at a very reasonable price for the quality.

I love this brand. These shoes look and fit great!
Size: 13 Wide, Color: Black/White/Black
I love wearing Cole Haan shoes. This is the second pair I’ve owned and the style just gets me. I’ve worn these to work at a great professional job every day, not just casual Friday. I wear these when I head out shopping or to dinner. They are functional, comfortable, built for regular and bigger wider feet and comfortable. I am 6 feet tall and my feet have changed size over the years to me needing a wider shoe to relieve pressure on my toes and front wide porting of my foot. So the 13W feels great and still walks the same as a regular 14 but more comfort for me. They look amazing and qualify in some offices as dress shoes (depending on company rules they will justify a sneaker as a shoe with the tan colored “gum” sole as a sneaker) so check company policy. The black sole on this makes it look more dressy. I am switching out the laces to match my previous Cole Haan because I think the white shoelaces look better. As an adult, aside from my Kenneth Cole boots Reaction boots and Doc Marten’s these are the only shoes I will pay 3 digits for. This looks like skater shoes but with a more mature look.

I am certainly glad I found them and finally ordered
Size: 10, Color: Ivory/White/British Tan
A bit bulkier than my Stan Smiths Leather versions, but actually more comfortable. They seem to be a bit "clunkier" looking than a streamline Stan Smith, but it's a matter of style. It works for a change of pace. Gets or picks up dirt a bit, but cleans well, except the canvas part. Has lasted almost 6-8 months with very little signs of wear. Feels very secure in any type of weather or condition. Great alternative or addition to having a pair of Stan Smiths.

Love the look, but Narrow
Size: 10, Color: Marine Blue/Woodbury/Ivory
What is for my son-in-law, he loves them, but had to switch them out twice because they run very narrow. He doesn’t have a wide foot at all so be careful when you purchase. Other than that they are a good looking shoe and he really likes them.
