Does anyone have an instruction manual for a exhaust brake from BD:

I have a 2004 LB7 shortbed, extended cab, stock exhaust. I do not know if the manuals are different for the LB7 vs LLY. Does anyone know how many hours are involved when installing this item? Is it a job anyone can do? Or does it take special tools?

Thanks in advance!

From BD the LB7 and LLY are the same kit. It took me about 6 hours to install, plus a couple for the MBRP exhaust. No special tools. Hardest part is cutting the exhaust pipe (easy for me because of the MBRP system). I used the drivers corner compressor mount area instead of the second alternator location. It's completely out of the way and the service techs don't even notice it. PM me with email and tomorrow I can send you the manual.

Thank you for emailing the manual to me. It looks like something I can install. I ordered one today for $1,230.00 USD. They said the price was a holiday special!:)
