Jake Brake
lilfroger:
hmm let me check my video files...I think I have a couple w/ the Jake on.
It gives it a hiss. Not like the sound a Semi makes.
burban2002:
the jakes are actuated by air pressure too arent they? Do you have a air tank to go with the compressor?

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

Yup...........I dig the Pac-Brake on my ride. I leave it on 24/7. I tow occasionally, 5'ver, horse trailer, 20' boat and a 20' utility trailer.
I had it installed at a Campers World for a few years ago around $1400.00 if I remember correctly.
Like Jo mentioned, if anything, it really saves the brake shoes quite a bit of wear.
lilfroger:
OK I don't have any great pictures of just the Jake...but you can see it behind the turbo
Here you can see it from under the truck where it feeds into the 5" exhaust
As soon as the site uploads I'll have a sound clip for you

Here we go...
first ~ no brake at regular idle
then brake at regular idle
then brake and high idle
