About BD Diesel Performance
Few names carry as much weight in the diesel performance world as BD Diesel. With roots stretching back to 1972 — when the company first opened as Valley Fuel Injection, a specialist in fuel injection rebuilding and calibration — BD Diesel has spent more than five decades engineering solutions for hard-working diesel trucks. The brand's wider reputation was cemented in 1989, when it introduced what is widely recognized as the first exhaust brake designed for the diesel pickup market, a move that set the tone for decades of innovation to come.
Today, BD Diesel operates out of a 65,000-square-foot facility in Abbotsford, British Columbia, employing over 100 engineers, machinists, and diesel specialists. What distinguishes BD Diesel from many competitors is that the company handles design, manufacturing, and distribution entirely in-house. That means every component leaving their facility has been engineered, assembled, and tested under the same roof — a level of quality control that diesel enthusiasts have come to rely on.
BD Diesel's catalog covers virtually the entire diesel powertrain. Whether you drive a Ford Powerstroke, a Chevy/GMC Duramax, or a Dodge Ram with a Cummins engine, BD has engineered products specifically for your platform. Their lineup spans exhaust manifolds, exhaust brakes, turbochargers, automatic transmission control modules, suspension track bars, torque converters, fuel system components, electronics, intercoolers, and more.
Engineering Built Around Real-World Use
BD Diesel's engineers take a practical approach to performance: they identify where factory parts fall short under the stress of towing, high horsepower, and extreme temperatures, then build replacements that outlast and outperform the originals. Their exhaust manifolds, for example, are cast from high-silicon ductile iron with precision expansion joints specifically engineered to resist the cracking that plagues OEM manifolds under hard use. Their turbocharger program is developed with precision lathes, milling equipment, and inspection CMMs to exceed OEM specifications. And their transmission upgrades leverage CAD and finite element analysis simulation to predict and eliminate failures before they happen in the field.
BD Diesel is also a factory-certified calibration and repair lab for major injection system manufacturers including Bosch, Stanadyne, Delphi, and Zexel — a testament to the technical depth the company brings to every product category.
Trusted Across the Diesel Community
From daily drivers and weekend towers to fleet operators and competitive racers, BD Diesel has earned a loyal following by building parts that perform consistently under pressure. With a comprehensive catalog of over 380 products and a legacy of industry-first innovations, BD Diesel remains one of the most trusted names in performance diesel upgrades.
