What Owners Say
Owners and enthusiasts generally recognize BD Diesel as a solid manufacturer in the exhaust brake category, with users noting they "usually make a good product" alongside competitors like Banks. The spring-loaded open, air-powered close design earns specific praise for its fail-safe engineering. However, some diesel truck owners report that PAC brake units demonstrate better longevity, with experienced installers observing PAC brakes "survive significantly longer than the BD unit." Proper installation requires up pipes and down pipes to be in good condition for optimal performance.
