BD Diesel has been “Engineering Excellence” since 1972. They are known in the diesel space for their diverse product offerings. This includes transmissions, turbochargers, torque converters, exhaust brakes, and fuel system components. Recently, Chris from BD Diesel stopped by XDP for in-house training and to showcase some of their latest and most popular products. This time, he brought along some Screamer Turbochargers, a Proforce Torque Converter, BD Valve Bodies, and their popular Killer Grid Heater Delete Kit.
Screamer Turbochargers
BD Diesel’s Screamer Series Turbochargers deliver impressive performance without sacrificing drivability or requiring any modifications. Designed as drop-in replacements, these turbos offer increased airflow, reduced EGTs, and quicker spool-up over stock units. The Screamer is ideal for towing, street performance, or race-ready builds looking for more out of their truck.
As Chris pointed out, “These are a true bolt-in upgrade. No special tuning required. You’re going to notice the difference in throttle response and top-end power immediately.” Screamer Turbos are available for a variety of diesel applications including Dodge Ram, GM, and Ford platforms.
Proforce Torque Converters
A critical part of any upgraded transmission build, BD Diesel’s Proforce Torque Converters are engineered for durability under pressure. Whether you’re hauling heavy loads or building a performance truck, these converters are made to handle high torque levels while maintaining excellent drivability.
Chris explained that each converter features a fully-welded cover and multi-clutch design. It’s not just about performance; it’s built to last. The Proforce Converter lineup also includes stall options to match your truck’s setup, making it a must-have for anyone upgrading their transmission.
BD Valve Bodies
Shifting performance is another area where BD Diesel shines. Their Performance Valve Bodies are CNC-machined, and feature upgraded solenoids and improved oil flow pathways to deliver crisp, firm shifts. This not only enhances performance but also extends the life of your transmission by reducing heat and slippage.
Killer Grid Heater Upgrade Kit
One of the standout upgrades for 6.7L Dodge Ram Diesel owners is BD’s Killer Grid Heater Upgrade Kit. This simple yet effective product replaces the factory grid heater bolt, eliminating a common failure point.
Chris shared, “The factory grid heater bolt can break and fall into the engine. Our kit eliminates that risk while retaining use of the factory heater.” The kit is a favorite among diesel owners and is also compatible with most aftermarket intake manifolds.
