WHY ADD AN EXHAUST BRAKE TO A 7.3 POWERSTROKE?
A Proven Diesel Deserves Better Braking Control
The 7.3L Power Stroke is legendary for durability, but from the factory it relies entirely on service brakes for downhill speed control.
When towing or hauling, Sentinel helps:
- Maintain safer downhill speeds
- Reduce reliance on wheel brakes
- Minimize brake fade caused by overheating
- Improve overall control in mountainous or heavy-load conditions
This makes Sentinel a practical safety upgrade for 7.3L Powerstroke owners who regularly tow or drive long grades.
SAFETY
Engine Braking Designed for Safer Descents
Long downhill grades and heavy trailers place extreme demands on braking systems.
The Sentinel Exhaust Brake enhances safety by:
- Helping manage speed on long descents
- Reducing brake overheating
- Supporting consistent braking under load
- Improving driver confidence while towing
By slowing the engine instead of relying solely on service brakes, Sentinel helps drivers maintain safer, more predictable control.
HOW SENTINEL WORKS
Simple Electric Exhaust Braking
Sentinel uses an electric inline valve to create controlled exhaust backpressure, slowing the engine during deceleration.
What makes Sentinel different:
- No air compressors or air lines
- No engine tuning required
- Independent operation
- Automated braking control
This design keeps the system simple, reliable, and well-suited for the 7.3L Powerstroke platform.
INSTALLATION
Straightforward Installation — Most 7.3 owners install within one to three hours.
Sentinel is designed for easy installation using basic tools.
Typical installation includes:
- Mounting the exhaust brake inline
- Routing wiring
- Connecting controller
Because Sentinel operates automatically, it provides consistent braking support without requiring constant driver input—supporting safer downhill braking behavior.
DURABILITY + WARRANTY
Built for Real Diesel Use — Backed for Life
Sentinel Exhaust Brakes are engineered to handle:
- High exhaust temperatures
- Heavy towing loads
- Long downhill grades
- Years of real-world diesel use
That’s why every Sentinel Exhaust Brake is backed by a lifetime warranty.
Fitment for 1994–2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke
Fitment depends on:
- Exhaust pipe diameter at the install location
- Available clearance for inline mounting
- Existing exhaust routing or modifications
If you’re unsure, Bundy Motors can help confirm compatibility before or after purchase.
