Essential Exhaust Braking for 6.0L & 6.4L Powerstokes

Both the 6.0L and 6.4L Powerstroke deliver strong horsepower and torque, but from the factory these trucks rely entirely on service brakes for downhill speed control, insufficient for hauling heavy loads. The Sentinel Exhaust Brake adds dependable engine braking through a simple electric inline design, without air systems, ECM or TCM programming, or complex installation. Installation is straightforward—often completed in under an hour—and every system is backed by a lifetime warranty.

WHY ADD AN EXHAUST BRAKE TO A 6.0L OR 6.4L POWERSTROKE?

More Power Requires Better Braking Control

The 6.0L and 6.4L Powerstroke produce significantly more power than earlier Ford diesels, placing greater demand on braking systems when towing heavy trailers or descending long grades.

Sentinel helps:

  • Maintain safer downhill speeds
  • Reduce brake overheating
  • Improve downhill control under load
  • Extend the life of service brakes

SAFETY

Engine Braking Designed for Safer Descents

Long downhill grades and heavy trailers can quickly overheat service brakes.

The Sentinel Exhaust Brake enhances safety by:

  • Helping manage speed on long descents
  • Reducing brake fade caused by overheating
  • Supporting consistent braking under load
  • Improving driver confidence while towing

HOW SENTINEL WORKS

Sentinel uses an electric inline exhaust valve to create controlled exhaust back pressure during deceleration, slowing the engine and reducing reliance on service brakes.

What makes Sentinel ideal for the 6.0L & 6.4L Powerstroke:

  • No air compressors or air lines
  • No ECM or TCM programming required
  • Independent operation
  • Fully automated braking control (manual option available)

INSTALLATION

Sentinel is designed for easy installation using basic tools.

Typical installation includes:

  • Inline exhaust brake mounting

  • 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
