WHY ADD AN EXHAUST BRAKE TO A 6.7L POWER STROKE?
Factory Braking Isn’t Always Enough
The 6.7L Power Stroke produces impressive horsepower and torque, but heavy trailers and long downhill grades can quickly overwhelm factory braking systems. Even trucks equipped with OEM exhaust brakes may benefit from stronger, more consistent engine braking.
Sentinel helps:
-
Improve downhill control beyond OEM exhaust brake capability
-
Restore engine braking after turbo replacements or upgrades
-
Reduce reliance on service brakes
-
Minimize brake fade caused by overheating
-
Increase driver confidence when towing heavy loads
Sentinel is a practical exhaust braking upgrade for both stock and modified 6.7L Power Stroke trucks.
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 ideal for the 6.7L Power Stroke:
-
No air compressors or air lines
-
No ECM or TCM programming required
-
Independent operation from turbocharger design
-
Automated braking control (manual option available)
This design ensures consistent exhaust braking regardless of turbo configuration.
INSTALLATION
Straightforward Installation — Often Under an Hour
Sentinel is designed for easy installation using basic tools.
Typical installation includes:
-
Inline exhaust brake installation
-
Wiring routing
-
Controller connection
Because Sentinel operates automatically, it provides consistent braking support without requiring constant driver input.
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
Every Sentinel Exhaust Brake is backed by a lifetime warranty.
FITMENT
2011–2027 Ford 6.7L Power Stroke
Fitment depends on:
-
Exhaust pipe diameter at the install location
-
Available clearance for inline mounting
-
Existing exhaust routing or modifications
Bundy Motors can assist with fitment confirmation before or after purchase.
FAQ — 6.7L Powerstroke
Does this improve the factory exhaust brake?
Yes. Sentinel provides stronger and more consistent exhaust braking than the OEM system alone.
Does this work if I replaced my factory turbo?
Yes. Sentinel operates independently of turbocharger configuration and restores exhaust braking after aftermarket turbo upgrades.
Do I need an air system or programming?
No. Sentinel is fully electric and requires no ECM or TCM programming.
Is this suitable for heavy towing and commercial use?
Absolutely. Sentinel is built for heavy diesel and commercial applications.
Does an external exhaust brake maximized OEM trubo life?
On the 6.7L Powerstroke, the factory exhaust brake is integrated into the variable geometry turbocharger (VGT). The turbo uses internal vanes that open and close to create boost and exhaust back pressure. During exhaust braking, these vanes operate through a wide range of motion while exposed to high heat and pressure. Over time, the repeated movement of the vanes under exhaust braking conditions can contribute to increased wear within the turbocharger. By using the Sentinel Exhaust Brake instead of the exhaust-braking function built into the turbo, exhaust braking duties are moved outside of the turbocharger. This reduces the need for the turbo’s internal vanes to create back pressure, which may help reduce stress associated with exhaust braking and support longer turbo service life.
Upgrade Your 6.7L Power Stroke for Safer Towing and Descents
Whether you’re running a factory turbo or an aftermarket upgrade, Sentinel delivers dependable exhaust braking to keep you in control on every downhill grade.
