it would sound alot cooler if it sounded like the semis
Remember the difference in the equipment though. A Semi Jake Brake opens the exhaust valve during the compression stroke. It is an integral part of the engine. It works by re-routing the compressed air in the cylinders through the exhaust system.
My exhaust brake works after the engine. Just creating back pressure that slow the movement of the engine.
I don't think even our Cummin's are stout enough to handle the pressures created by a full Jake Brake. I watched a clip once where a guy said it would blow the head off a 5.9 (he was from Jacobs and it was on Trucks or something).
It would be cool but Jacobs and Cummin work very closely if there was a way to do it (and a need) they would have done it already.
You're welcome Burban. I love the look I get from ricers when the truck is cold and I have it on stopped at a light. The brake will kick in when ever the truck is stopped and not up to full operating temps. I go from sitting
quietly
at a light to making all sorts of noise at them
windows always roll up and cars tend to move. I had one guy ask me once why I was boosting my turbo at a stop light. After a little chat he went from thinking I was a nut trying to blow up my truck to understanding the value of the equipment.
