Diesel Performance: New Products

 

Ford 6.7L Emergency Shutdown

Ford 6.7L Emergency Shutdown

WHAT IT IS:
Engine Overspeed Shutdown Control
WHY YOU WANT IT:

New from BD Diesel Performance is the EPAS (Electronic Positive Air Shutdown) for the Ford 6.7l engine. This unique engine overspeed shut down control works with the built-in, EOM Intake Air Control (IAC) to prevent engine run-on in environments rich with volatile airborne vapors.

The 6.7L Scorpion diesel engines come equipped with an EGR system that contains a Butterfly mixing valve. BD Engineers have designed a control program that uses this to safely shut your engine down if overspeeding occurs.

There are several advantages over older butterfly valve shutdown kits, including less installation time and labor costs. The EPAS can generally be installed in less than 1.5 hours, potentially saving up to three hours of installation labor costs. EPAS is factory harness compatible, with plug-and-play connections and a wiring harness.

Full compatibility with the factory ECM won’t set trouble codes: The unit also automatically resets after shut down. For leased trucks, the unit is easily removed for end of lease returns.

Extreme Mud Tire

Extreme Mud Tires

WHAT IT IS:

Dick Cepek Extreme Country Mud-Terrain

WHY YOU WANT IT:

The new Dick Cepek Extreme Country mud-terrain tire has been specially designed with a proven tread compound and larger surface area. This results in excellent traction, long tread life, responsive handling and a quieter ride—both on pavement and off. The Extreme Country’s tread features special chamfers and notched inner and outer lugs for lug stability and a responsive “bite” on irregular surfaces.

This new tire’s sidewall is reinforced with two-ply high-tensile body cord for sidewall strength, without increasing weight or rolling resistance. Wide outer tread voids and self-cleaning angled shoulder scallops provide better traction in mud and loose soil

The Extreme Country will debut in 21 available 15- to 20-inch sizes.

WHAT IT IS:

AMSOIL single-use, package-size Diesel Injector Clean

Calibrate Your Speedo

WHAT IT IS:

Hypertech Speedo Calibrator

WHY YOU WANT IT:

Changing the size of your tires, or the gear ratio in your differentials, will result in an error in the speedometer readout. This can result in errors on your rig’s miles-to-empty calculations and possibly get you a speeding ticket, too.

With the Hypertech Speedometer Calibrator, the speedometer and odometer can be easily recalibrated for use with any non-stock tire size and/or rear gear ratio. What’s more, Hypertech’s Speedometer Calibrator Module has no limitations for increased tire height.

Additionally, when using the Hypertech Speedometer Calibrator, there is no need to cut into the factory wiring harness. Factory style connectors make the installation easy and the integration seamless. Why drive around with inaccurate speedometer readings when the Hypertech Speedometer Calibrator is simple and available at any authorized Hypertech dealer?

Their latest units are compatible with 2015 GM trucks and 2014 Ram trucks. For other applications, see their website.
