Exhaust brakes can help you avoid the feeling of panic difficult braking situations with diesel engine vehicles. Gasoline powered engines are designed with a throttle or butterfly valve that closes the air intake of the engine forming a vacuum effect that assists the vehicle in braking. Diesel engines have no such butterfly valve and thus no compression is developed when the throttle is released during braking. This means the chassis brakes are given the entire task of getting the vehicle stopped.

We are an authorized dealer and can supply most any of the D-Celerator products discussed. Call us at 1-800-755-4775 to order or for questions.
Top: Valve Open Bottom: Valve Closed
The D-Celerator works like this. An oversize nodular iron housing consisting of two stainless steel butterflies (one large, one small) is added to the exhaust system in front of the muffler. The large version is in the main passage, while the small butterfly operates in a separate waste gate by-pass port. Available from 4" down to 2-1/2" as either air or electric. When signaled, the large butterfly closes , creating immediate exhaust pressure for assisting the vehicle's regular brakes. Exhaust flow is now directed through the small by-pass port and released by the small butterfly at at pre-determined pressure. This allows the pressure to generate more efficiently and maintains it longer, providing precision braking whenever you need it. Does not require valve spring changes or engine modifications.
The key elements to determining which model is applicable is the exhaust diameter, lbs of spring pressure and whether it is electronic. This links to a diesel exhaust brakes selection chart for the more popular products for motor homes and large trailer towing vehicles. This will open in a new window.
