Exhaust Brake for Ford Powerstroke, Cummins, Etc. Diesel Engines
D-Celerator Exhaust Brakes from U.S. Gear can be used on Ford Powerstroke, Cummins and Other Diesels . The D-Celerator is a unique, electrically-activated exhaust brake for diesel engines.
- Add Thousands of Miles to Your Powerstroke, Dodge-Cummins or other Vehicle's Brakes
- Add braking and make going down mountains easier
- Extend Your Diesel Engine Life With Rapid Cold Weather Warm-Up
- Patented Waste-Gate Design Gives Powerful Braking at Lower RPMs
An exhaust brake can help you avoid the feeling of panic in hard or prolonged braking situations with diesels engine vehicles. Gasoline 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. Diesels, however, have no such butterfly valve and thus no compression is developed when the throttle is released during braking. This means the brakes are given the entire task of getting the vehicle stopped.
Additional information can be found at the manufacturer's exhaust brake website. This will open in a new window. Just close the new window to return here. We are an authorized dealer and can supply most any of the D-Celerator® products discussed.
Top: Valve Open Bottom: Valve Closed
The US Gear D-Celerator® works using exhaust back pressure. 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. These units do 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.
