WHY ADD AN EXHAUST BRAKE TO AN L5P DURAMAX?

The L5P Duramax is a powerful towing platform, but controlling speed on long downhill grades places extreme stress on service brakes—especially when hauling heavy trailers or equipment.

The Sentinel Exhaust Brake helps:

  • Maintain safer downhill speeds
  • Reduce reliance on wheel brakes
  • Minimize brake fade caused by overheating
  • Improve overall control and driver confidence

By slowing the engine instead of relying solely on service brakes, Sentinel provides safer, more predictable braking control when it matters most.


HOW SENTINEL WORKS

Sentinel uses an electric inline exhaust valve to create controlled exhaust back pressure during deceleration, slowing the engine and reducing load on the braking system.

Unlike turbo-dependent braking methods, Sentinel operates as a dedicated external exhaust brake, delivering consistent braking performance regardless of turbo configuration.


INSTALLATION

Sentinel Exhaust Brakes are designed for straightforward installation using basic tools.

Typical installation includes:

  1. Installing the exhaust brake inline
  2. Routing wiring
  3. Connecting the controller

Many installations are completed in under one hour.
