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.

Overall good toy for dogs
Color: Blue
My dog loves her snoop. I put little training treats in there for her, and she loves to roll it around and get the treats out. For her, it doesn’t last very long because they do fall out pretty easy, but she is a big dog so a smaller dog might have a harder time than her. Very sturdy and easy to travel with. Not noisy at all. I would say it’s a good, quick play toy for a dog like mine.

Fav Chew Toy 🦴
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
My baby is half rottweiler and half doberman &’ he has a pretty strong grip when it comes to chew toys. But this one, it’s his favorite toy! He never leaves the house without it. It’s also really fun to add his favorite treats in there when’s he bored to keep him entertained! Not loud at all and will keep him from chewing on other things and not heavy as other rough chew toys!

Great you made super well
Color: Blue Lil Snoop, Color: Blue Lil Snoop
This is such an awesome toy. It’s super durable strong bounces and a perfect size. We got the small. We got blue because our pup can see it. It allows for creativity and endless limits to what you can make for it to be a fun experience. It has a nice sized hole in the center which allows you to add treats and food. Pop it inward and it slightly if large enough prevents the treats from coming out super fast. The ball rolls bounces and they can grip it nicely. It is easy to clean The only thing I didn’t like was the way the plastic tabs were situated inside the toy as you just be careful you don’t allow it to drip inside and dog gets it. No noise just fun. Our 15lb Cavapoo loves it

No challenge once they figure it out once, or if they have a long nose
Color: Blue
The first time I used this with my 9 month old Shepard mix, it was great. We used about 1/3 cup of her kibble and added the Nook to make it harder. It kept her working for 20-30 minutes. However, now that she knows how to remove the Nook, and stick her snout into the opening and lick up the kibble, it lasts about 5 minutes, and is no longer a challenge. She still enjoys playing with this, even when it is empty, and hasn't it destroyed it yet, so for that 3 stars.

Buy it — it’ll be your dogs best friend!
Color: Orange
Best treat toy ever! In the beginning of 2025 I bought this for my 12yr old Alaskan Malamute who loves puzzles and brain games. She loved it and played with it every day. Sadly, she passed middle of this year. Now in December, I have purchased this toy again for my newly adopted 10 month Great Dane puppy. Again, it’s an absolute hit! My Dane eats very fast, so I actually use this as a way to break up her meals. I put about half her meal (freeze dried raw kibble) in her slow feeder bowl and fill this toy about two times to feed her the other half. Also, we are crate training and before I leave the house I put treats in this toy and leave it in the crate with her. She has bad separation anxiety, but this toy actually seems to help calm her down because she enjoys it so much. I have bought many treat toys — this one is supreme. It’s not too loud or too difficult for the dogs to play with. So far it has held up without being chewed apart. It’s good quality, great size (orange for large breeds) and honestly, worth every penny.
