WHY ADD AN EXHAUST BRAKE TO A DURAMAX?
More Power Requires Better Braking Control
The Duramax platform delivers impressive horsepower and torque, but even factory exhaust brake–equipped models can benefit from stronger, more consistent braking—especially when towing heavy loads or descending long grades.
When towing or hauling, Sentinel helps:
· Maintain safer downhill speeds
· Reduce reliance on wheel brakes
· Minimize brake fade caused by overheating
· Improve control in mountainous or heavy-load conditions
Sentinel is a practical safety upgrade for Duramax owners who tow frequently, haul heavy loads, or demand maximum downhill control.
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 maintain safer, more predictable control.
HOW SENTINEL WORKS
Simple Electric Exhaust Braking
Sentinel uses an electric inline valve to create controlled exhaust back pressure, slowing the engine during deceleration.
What makes Sentinel different:
· No air compressors or air lines
· No engine tuning required
· Independent operation
· Automated braking control (manual option available)
This design keeps the system simple, reliable, and well-suited for all Duramax generations.
INSTALLATION
Straightforward Installation — Often Under an Hour
Sentinel is designed for easy installation using basic tools.
Typical installation includes:
1. Inline exhaust brake mounting
2. Wiring routing
3. Controller connection
Because Sentinel operates automatically, it provides consistent braking support without requiring constant driver input—supporting safer downhill braking behavior.

Built for Real Diesel Use — Backed for Life
