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.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
