BD Diesel Performance & Installation
As an authorized BD Diesel Performance dealer, we sell and professionally install proven upgrades for towing confidence, reliability, and real-world drivability.
Signs you may need bd diesel performance
BD Diesel Performance is one of the most trusted names in the diesel world because their hardware is engineered for the way work trucks actually live — towing heavy, running hot, and racking up miles. As an authorized BD Diesel dealer in Athens, GA, we sell and professionally install the full lineup for Duramax, Cummins, and Power Stroke trucks — and we help you pick the right parts for how you actually use yours.
The enhancements we install
Every one of these is chosen for towing control, reliability, and drivability — and every one keeps your truck street-legal. We don't do deletes or anything that takes a truck out of emissions compliance.
- Exhaust brakes & downpipes — real control and far less brake wear coming down a grade with a trailer.
- Transmissions & torque converters — built to survive the heat and torque that cook a stock unit on a tow rig.
- Turbochargers & charge-air — reliable boost and power, with leak-free intercooler and charge piping.
- Fuel systems & lift pumps — steady fuel pressure that protects expensive injectors and the CP pump.
- Cooling & towing setup — auxiliary coolers and the supporting parts that keep temps where they belong.
- Gauges & monitoring — EGT, boost, and transmission-temp gauges so you see trouble before it costs you.
Built for towing and reliability, not just numbers
Our lane is sensible, dependable performance for trucks that have a job to do. Whether you want better control with a loaded trailer behind you or a transmission that finally stops being the weak link, there's a proven BD solution — and we build the plan around your trailer weight, your miles, and your budget instead of selling you the most expensive part on the shelf.
Sold and installed by people who know diesels
Anyone can sell you a part in a box. We help you choose the right upgrade, install it correctly, and stand behind the work — BD's warranty on the parts, our installation behind it. Call or text and tell us what you tow and what you're chasing, and you'll get a straight answer.

I tow heavy — what helps most?
For towing, the biggest gains usually come from exhaust braking (control and brake-wear on grades), transmission upgrades (heat and durability), and proper cooling. We'll build a sensible plan around your trailer weight and miles.

We focus on legal, emissions-compliant upgrades for reliability and towing. We'll always tell you what keeps your truck right with the law.
