ELECTRONIC EXHAUST BRAKE 4.0IN RAM 2500/3500 6.7L CUMMINS 2007.5-2012

No, this specific kit, part number 1027346, is designed exclusively for 2007.5-2012 Ram 2500/3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins engine and a 4-inch exhaust. A different part number is required for 2013-2017 models or trucks equipped with a 5-inch exhaust. — This kit is precisely engineered for the specified model years, ensuring seamless integration with the factory components. The included wiring harness and BD Brake Controller module are calibrated to communicate with the ECU and utilize the factory dash switch of the 2007.5-2012 trucks. While the product line covers up to 2017, this particular SKU is limited to the earlier generation. — • Direct Fitment: 2007.5-2012 Dodge Ram 2500 & 3500 • Engine: 6.7L Cummins • Exhaust Diameter: 4-inch (this is PN 1027346) • Note for 5-inch exhaust: Use part number 1027347. • Control: Integrates directly with the OEM factory exhaust brake dash button.

This electronic exhaust brake creates up to 150 retarding horsepower. This provides a substantial increase in engine braking to help control your speed and reduce service brake wear, especially when towing heavy loads down steep grades. — The braking force is managed by BD's proprietary Variable Orifice Technology, which intelligently modulates exhaust backpressure through the entire RPM range. Unlike simpler on/off designs that can be harsh, this system provides smooth, consistent, and predictable braking force. This technology prevents pressure spikes, ensuring reliable engine braking without compromising engine longevity. The unit's robust cast iron construction is built to withstand the extreme heat and pressure required to generate this level of retarding force.

Installation is straightforward for an experienced DIYer or professional technician, with an estimated time of 3 hours. The kit installs inline with your existing exhaust and does not require an air compressor, eliminating complex plumbing and wiring. — The process requires cutting a section of your stock 4-inch exhaust pipe to fit the brake assembly. From there, you secure it using the provided clamps and install the electronic components. The kit includes: — • The main electronic exhaust brake valve assembly • A dedicated BD Brake Controller module • A plug-and-play wiring harness • All necessary exhaust clamps and hardware • Required tools include standard mechanic's hand tools and a saw (e.g., a Sawzall) for cutting the exhaust pipe.

The main advantages are significantly improved reliability, simpler installation, and lower maintenance. By eliminating the need for an air compressor, tank, and airlines, this all-electronic system removes multiple common failure points found in traditional pneumatic brakes. — This design is especially beneficial in cold climates, where moisture in air systems can freeze and cause the brake to fail. The simplified installation process, estimated at 3 hours, is much faster than running airlines and mounting a compressor. The result is a highly effective and durable braking solution with fewer parts to service over the life of your truck. — • No air compressor or airlines to maintain or fail. • Easier and quicker inline installation. • Utilizes the reliable factory OEM dash button for control. • Cast iron construction withstands heat cycles for a long service life.

The kit includes the main cast iron electronic brake unit, a BD Brake Controller module, a complete wiring harness, and all hardware needed for installation on a 4-inch exhaust. BD Diesel covers this product with a 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty. — This is a comprehensive kit designed for a complete, professional-grade installation. The core components you will receive are: — • Brake Assembly: The heavy-duty cast iron butterfly valve with its integrated electronic actuator. • Control Module: The BD Brake Controller that manages the brake's operation and integrates with the truck's electronics. • Hardware: High-quality exhaust clamps and pipe adapters to connect to your factory 4-inch system. • Wiring: A full harness that connects the controller to the brake unit and the truck's OEM systems. • Warranty: Provides coverage against defects in materials and workmanship for 2 years or 24,000 miles (whichever comes first).

No, this product is not legal for sale or use on any pollution-controlled motor vehicle in California. It carries an EMS Code of 4, indicating it is not CARB-compliant. — This exhaust brake has not been granted a California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Order (EO) number. Therefore, it cannot be legally installed on any registered vehicle that is used on public roads in California or any other state that has adopted California's stringent emissions standards. This product is intended for dedicated off-road or competition use only in such jurisdictions. Buyers should always verify their local and state vehicle modification laws before purchasing.
