Will this fit my 2012 f550?

Dave Shriver | 5/24/2023
Yes
Are the 11-14 exhaust valve springs strong enough to withstand the back pressure? Other exhaust brakes I have installed in the past require a valve spring upgrade. Thank you.

Wes Gilbert | 2/7/2021
Yes, item does not require upgraded valve springs.
I have a 2012 F350 draw with the 6.7L. This truck has 140,000 miles. Would it be safe to add this to a vehicle with high mileage?

Robert Hooton | 6/28/2020
Yes, should not cause any issue.
Do you find this BD exhaust break works with a trailer hooked up? I installed one on my 2014 F350 and it works for a little while than it gives me a reduced engine power prompt and you lose turbo pressure. Works great without the 5th wheel but doesn’t help my problem of stopping much. If you have had this problem or know how to fix it I would greatly appreciated any information. Thanks Jim

We have not had this complaint. You may need to contact BD@800-887-5030
Does this product put any added stress to the already weak 2012 turbo bearings?

Butch Carter | 4/16/2020
No, it will work in conjunction with the ecm to avoid high back pressures.
