Do you know a good way to control or slow down your truck's speed with less use of service brakes? An exhaust brake is your answer.
An exhaust brake is a means of slowing a diesel engine by closing off the exhaust path from the engine, causing the exhaust gases to be compressed in the exhaust manifold, and in the cylinder. Since the exhaust is being compressed, and there is no fuel being applied, the engine works backwards, slowing down the vehicle. The amount of negative torque generated is usually directly proportional to the back pressure of the engine.
An exhaust brake delivers the strongest braking horsepower, greatest speed reductions and shortest stopping distances possible without the use of service brakes.
