WrenchConnected is an independent installation marketplace operating in partnership with Diesel Power Products.
After checkout, we route your vehicle info and part SKU to verified installation shops near you. Local installers review the job and submit competitive bids; you pick the shop you want based on price, reviews, and availability. Your name and email stay private until you select an installer.
You pay for the bid from your preferred shop. The full amount is shown before you confirm — installers cannot add charges without your written consent. Payments are processed securely by Stripe.
During bidding, shops see only your service ZIP code, vehicle year/make/model, and the part SKU — not your name, email, or address. Only the shop you select receives your contact details after payment. We never sell your personal information.

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 PERFORMANCEOriginally 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 UPGRADESTransmissions 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 BRAKESBD 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 UPGRADESThe 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 UPGRADESOwing 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 ELECTRONICSThroughout 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.

"Lost my overdrive and first gear. Swapped out this component and also threw in the BD Pressure Transducer Upgrade. I now have the truck driving as it should."
"This part is better than oem part, but because of size it will still fail due to that was the issue with this part. It has a hard job to do especially at low speeds when first and second gears are used the most. There is now a better upgrade. ATS GM governor pressure solenoid block for 47RE & 48RE transmission. It is twice the size of the 4617213 governor solenoid sold here. It is super easy to install and can handle the extra line pressure especially if your 47 or 48 RE transmission has been rebuilt or upgraded. You will definitely notice the size difference in the solenoid itself. The ATS solenoid can handle the work load for longer because of this. So, if you don’t mind the part being a GM part this is definitely the way to go. It you want to stay as close to stock as possible the 4617213 solenoid sold here is a heavy duty oem size replacement but over time it will still fail. I had this unit installed at the transmission shop when my 48RE was rebuilt. It lasted aprox. 50,000 miles in an upgraded transmission that does haul on a daily basis. Not that bad considering useage. The ATS GM governor solenoid is not know to fail in GM or RAM 47RE or 48RE applications in transmission that have been upgraded to handle more than 1000 horsepower thus far. It surely improves shift quality upshifts & downshifts. It is recommended that you replace the governor pressure transducer at the same time as the governor solenoid."
"Got the product in good condition. No fault of diesel power but didn't fix the issue I was having"
"Work great"
"Works great"
"This is wayyy better than stock!"
"I put it in as preventative maintenance when I put a bigger trans pan and secondary cooler on my 47RE and it seamed to make it shift a little smoother. Nothing extremely noticeable but it's defiantly better quality than a stock set up."
"Truck started shuttle shifting after reading countless forums led to pressure sensor and transducer swapped both easy to replace. Truck shifts great no issues since"
"my 2002 cummins was having a hard time getting out of 2nd gear so i put this in which fit perfect and also BDs transducer while i was right there and now my truck shifts perfect"
