About BD-Power

BD Diesel is known as one of the originators of diesel performance because theyve been there since the very beginning. Its by no coincidence that theyve been in the industry since 1972 where theyve seen competition come and go over the years. You could consider them a front to back organization in which they design and manufacture products ranging from Super B Turbo Kits and performance injectors for your Cummins to heavy duty transmissions, torque converters, and other transmission components for your Duramax to Positive Air Shutdowns and exhaust brakes for your Powerstroke and everything in between. Quite literally, there are VERY few components that BD does not build for nearly every light duty diesel application.

BD DIESEL PERFORMANCE

Originally founded in 1972 as Valley Fuel Injection that specialized in fuel injection rebuilding and calibrating, BD Diesel gained the most notoriety beginning in 1989 with the release of their first exhaust brake designed for Ram trucks with the acclaimed 12 Valve Cummins engine. BD would later rename Valley Fuel Injection to BD Diesel Truck Service and Performance Center that operates as an extension to BD Diesel Performance. Today, they operate out of a 65,000 square foot facility in Abbotsford, British Columbia and employ over 100 highly skilled individuals. They are constantly pushing the envelope with forward thinking products that not only fill voids in the marketplace, but also take existing products and push them to the next level.

BD DIESEL TRANSMISSION UPGRADES

Transmissions have a singular but ambitious challenge - to transfer all the torque from the diesel engine to the drive wheels. This must be accomplished while maintaining shift quality and minimizing NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness). With stock or OE configurations, this capacity challenge is somewhat less than extraordinary. Comparatively, a high output diesel that develops 2-4 times the original engine torque and keeping stellar driving characteristics at this power level becomes a new feat. Utilizing the latest technology in CAD and FEA simulation, BD can predict and eliminate failures before they happen. The dedicated team of BDs Transmission and Torque Convertor Department are true experts in the development and analysis of the diesel transmission.

BD EXHAUST BRAKES

BD built its reputation on exhaust brakes starting in the early 90's with many casting designs for both engine and remote mount air actuated systems. Rugged cast-iron bodies with an offset stainless steel butterfly build peak efficiency quickly.

BD TURBO UPGRADES

The turbocharger industry is a special industry for BD and remains a key technological asset. When looking at BDs experienced staff, the majority of their key staff members have been developed in or around this technology. BD focuses on the customer's needs, whether it is fast turnaround, state of the art compressor wheels or turbine wheels, they look to deliver on the highest expectations. You can be assured that a BD turbocharger has been hand crafted to the greatest standards. Using precision lathes, milling equipment, honing machines, and inspection CMMs your turbocharger is continuously graded to exceed the OEMs specifications.

BD FUELING UPGRADES

Owing to its heritage as a diesel fuel systems specialist, BD Diesel Truck Service & Performance Center is a factory-certified Bosch, Stanadyne, Delphi and Zexel calibration and repair lab. They are one of a select few injection shops in North America to have Bosch Common Rail parts and an overhaul and testing franchise. BD Diesel rebuilds most all mechanical and electronically-controlled fuel pumps and injectors for diesel engine applications.

BD ELECTRONICS

Throughout the automotive industry, electronic technology has become an integral part of the OEM solution. Whether it is safety, performance, or driving improvements, BD Diesel Performance has developed a strong electronic department to focus strictly on this technology. By focusing on the core needs of the customer, they engineer out the possible product failures and maximize key features to deliver a top to bottom solution. Utilizing state of the art manufacturing equipment, BD maximizes value and minimizes time consuming tasks that inflate costs. Vehicle electronic technology will remain a key technology at BD Diesel Performance.

Pretty great!

"Not a difficult install for someone who's mechanically capable. Definitely not a beginner's kit! Clean end result & great braking ability! Thinking I'll replace the faulting VGT on my'09 with one as well!"

Greg A. (5/5)

Bd inline exhaust brake

"This works well. It needed a lot of adjustment to improve braking power. For these northwest passes you need braking power. I haven't towed with it yet. It may need more adjustment. So far, so good."

Q&A

How long does it typical take to install and is it best to use a mechanic?
There is a 4 hour install time on this kit. This kit does require welding. If you have access to a welder it would be recommend getting that knocked out first (measuring, cutting and welding). It is up to you whether this is out of your capability or not. -Mark
I have an airblasters train horn with tank and pump already. Can I get an adapter to go from my already existing tank to run a line from tank to brake and purchase a kit without the pump?
Yes you could plumb an airline from the tank to the regulator. But we don't sell a kit without the pump though. -Sands
Will this kit work on the 1993 Dodge with Cummins Deisel? It’s a 3/4 ton truck with all the 1 ton upgrades
As long as you have 4inch exhaust it will work just fine. If you do not have a APPS sensor(Manual Transmission) you will need to purchase the micro switch kit also. -Sands
Is studding the heads on a 6.4 powerstroke required/suggested when installing the BD exhaust brake.
Installing head studs on a 6.4 is recommended just an a necessity. The brake does add some backpressure. But not near as much as the drive pressure those trucks see on a normal basis. -Sands
I have an aftermarket exhaust with a four inch down pipe to a 5 inch and i saw somewhere that it will not work with aftermarket exhaust. Is this true???
This kit will come with parts to be installed in a 4" exhaust. If you want to install a brake in 5" exhaust, check out PN: BD-1028150 -Ben
