About This Product

Like a fire extinguisher in your house, or an earthquake kit, it's always better to be prepared. Although rare, Diesel Engine Runaway is caused when external hydrocarbons are drawn into the engine and can cause overspeeding and catastrophic engine failure. Life, limb and your vehicle are put in jeopardy. BD Diesel Performance has you covered should the worst happen with our Electronic Positive Air Shutdown (E-PAS) units by cutting the intake air supply to the cylinders and safely shutting down the engine. The E-PAS controls the electronic throttle body in the intake manifold found on most late model diesel engines by closing it to shut off the air supply in emergency situations. The E-PAS can be easily installed in less than 1.5 hours with factory plug-in connectors and premade wiring harnesses. Automatically resets itself after shutdown and can be easily removed for truck lease returns.

What exactly does this E-PAS kit do on my 6.7L Cummins?

This kit provides a way to safely shut down your engine in the rare event of a diesel engine runaway. It works by electronically closing the factory throttle body to cut off the air supply, stopping the engine before catastrophic failure occurs. — Diesel engine runaway happens when an external, unintended fuel source (like combustible vapor or oil) is drawn into the intake. Since a diesel engine's speed is controlled by fuel, introducing this extra fuel can cause it to accelerate uncontrollably, even with the key off, leading to catastrophic damage. The BD Diesel E-PAS (Electronic Positive Air Shutdown) is a safety device that gives you a way to stop this. It integrates with your 2019-2024 Ram's factory electronic throttle body in the intake manifold, using it as an emergency air shut-off valve. When activated, the E-PAS commands the throttle plate to close completely, choking the air supply and safely shutting down the engine to protect your investment.

How do I install the E-PAS on my 2021 Ram 3500?

Installation is a straightforward, plug-and-play process that takes less than 1.5 hours and requires no cutting or splicing of factory wires. The kit includes vehicle-specific harnesses with factory connectors for a clean, reversible installation. — The BD Diesel E-PAS kit (part number 1036753) is designed for a simple and non-invasive install on all 2019-2024 Ram Pick-up and Cab & Chassis models with the 6.7L Cummins. The process involves: — • Plugging the included T-harness into the factory electronic throttle body connector. • Routing the premade wiring harness and connecting it to the E-PAS control module. • Mounting the activation switch in your cab. • The system is completely self-contained and does not require any additional modifications or tuning. • Because it uses factory connectors and doesn't permanently alter the truck, it can be easily removed, making it ideal for leased vehicles.

Will this kit work with my tuned or modified truck?

Yes, this E-PAS system is designed to function independently of your engine's ECU tune or other performance modifications. Its sole purpose is to control the throttle plate in an emergency and it does not alter engine performance or calibration during normal operation. — Because the E-PAS safety system only interacts with the electronic throttle body, it is compatible with most common modifications. It does not interfere with aftermarket tuners, high-flow air intakes, upgraded injectors, or performance exhaust systems. The system remains dormant until it is manually activated, at which point it overrides the signal to the throttle body to shut off the engine's air supply. After the emergency has passed and the engine is stopped, the E-PAS automatically resets itself, returning the throttle body to normal OEM control without any lingering effects on your performance setup.

What happens after I use the E-PAS to shut down the engine?

The system automatically resets itself after the engine has been successfully shut down. Once you have addressed the cause of the runaway condition, you can restart and operate the vehicle as normal with no special procedures required. — The E-PAS is designed for immediate readiness after use. There are no components to replace or manually reset on the unit itself. Once the activation switch is returned to its normal position and the key is cycled, the E-PAS module releases control of the electronic throttle body, returning it to the factory ECM's command. This allows for a quick return to service, which is critical in work-truck and emergency response applications where vehicle downtime must be minimized. Your primary focus after a shutdown event should be inspecting the engine and intake system to find and eliminate the source of the external hydrocarbons that caused the runaway in the first place.

Is a positive air shut-off required for my truck?

While not required for all trucks, a positive air shut-off is mandatory for many commercial and industrial sites, particularly in the oil and gas, mining, and forestry industries. This kit provides a simple and reliable solution to meet those site-specific safety regulations. — Many job sites require any diesel engine operating on their premises to be equipped with a positive air shut-off system as a condition of entry. This is a critical safety measure to prevent a diesel engine from becoming an ignition source in an environment with combustible vapors. The BD Diesel E-PAS for the 2019-2024 6.7L Cummins provides a compliant solution that is both easy to install and reliable. Its electronic, plug-in design makes it a much cleaner and more modern alternative to older, mechanical cable-pull systems. Even if not required for your work, it serves as valuable protection against a rare but potentially engine-destroying runaway event.
