Anyhow....Do I love my Jake yes I do.

Back in June we were driving cross country.  Had a 99 Escort on a tow dolly.  Had pulled the front drive shaft so we were in permanent 2 wheel drive.  Coming through Oregon we hit 6" of snow (yes I said JUNE).  Ever few feet there was a car or truck off in the ditch.  We were very limited on options and had to just slow it down and make it up.  Every time the brakes were actually touched the back of the truck would try to slide out from under the dolly.  But with the Jake on the truck stayed under control and just moved down the pass.

I use it to warm the truck up in the morning.  Use to to keep off the actual brakes.  It's tied into the tranny control so it is like having tow/haul with OD when it is on.

I think it's BigRiver that has the PacBrake.  He speaks highly of his also.

burban2002:
Cool--I'm glad you did. :cheers:

I saw pacbrake came out with a new one for the 2nd gens that replaces the elbow and dang I want one.  Are they pretty loud when it turns on?
Crap I'm gettin myself excited about this and I have rent to pay soon.  I better make sure my truck bed is cleaned out for the next month. :helpsmilie:
