    would this work on an 04 f350 dump truck with a standard tranny 6.0 liter

    @kubotaboy123 Yes, it should since the driveline is essentially the same as the consumer version F350s.

    will this work on a 6.4 powerstroke

    @devio123 Currently it appears that they only cover up to the 6.0L but I am sure they are developing units that will be compatible with the 6.4L so keep an eye out.

    does putting an exhaust brake on a truck make it make the same sound as semi when the semi makes that loud popping sound when there slowing down? If it does that would be awesome!!

    whats the difference between a jake brake and exhaust

  9. 4WHEELPARTS November 10, 2010 at 9:43 pm #

    @247copenhagen A jake brake works by effectively disabling the valves and increasing compression in the cylinders, while an exhaust brake closes the exhaust and uses the engine braking to increase braking in the vehicle.

    @devio123 Banks makes an exhaust brake for just about all of the ford turbo diesel engines. Just do a search for “6.4 Banks Brake”

    Is this bad on the engine?

  12. banstaman December 5, 2010 at 1:21 am #

    So basically an exhaust brake is like a waste gate actuator?

  13. 4WHEELPARTS December 9, 2010 at 5:22 pm #

    @banstaman No, an exhaust brake closes the manifold and uses the engine to add braking to the vehicle without pushing the brakes harder.

    @nancygirlbsg If you drive with it on, it will be, but with the accelerator closed it won’t do any harm.

    @4WHEELPARTS jakes shut the injectors off

    hi . i have question do you guys have in your shop Exhaust Brake what i can put it to Nissan Patrol Y60 2.8 TD ?

  17. 4WHEELPARTS January 3, 2011 at 4:58 pm #

    @ThatHoodNiggaBrik Unfortunately, we don’t have an application specifically for that vehicle. BD Diesel may have something they could do but it would have to be custom.

  18. ThatHoodNiggaBrik January 3, 2011 at 5:23 pm #

    @4WHEELPARTS ok i understand. but maybe someone know exhaust brake for electric instalation 12Volt beacuse every i found is 24Volt ?

    how does this work with a non syncro box when double clutching and rev matching is needed to change down a gear? If no revs with brake shut how will this work then?

  20. 4WHEELPARTS January 18, 2011 at 3:13 pm #

    @shytcity3000 You are correct. If you are running a non syncro gear box then you should avoid this setup. It is recommended for automatics and syncro manuals.

    @kiefer1234566767 do they???!!!

  22. kelbo031890 February 27, 2011 at 4:02 pm #

    does it only work on a turbo or can you put it on a chevy 1500

  23. 4WHEELPARTS February 28, 2011 at 4:47 pm #

    @kelbo031890 It is really only meant for a diesel vehicle, but I would recommend contacting BD directly to see if it will work for your application.

    @dmgcat: Clearly you shouldn’t be working on it if you think that there is supposed to be vacuum used for the brakes. Diesels do not generate vacuum like gas engines, and that’s why pickup trucks with diesel engines use Hydraulic Power-Assist braking systems. Get a professional mechanic to fix ’em for you, or at least get yourself an OEM Service Manual and teach yourself how to fix ’em. Good luck.

    @SuperTurboDiesel2 the 89-98? dodge diesels used a vacuum pump to operate their vacuum assist brakes.
