Anyone Got a Pac Brake?
I've got a Pac Brake on my 01 24v Cummins Turbo Diesel. I am getting pretty sick of everyone telling me that I am going to burn up the engine with it. I have driven it 40K miles since it was installed and haul a 28ft. horse trailer with 2 horses all over the US. Has anyone out there had any damage to their engine that can be directly traced back to the exhaust brake????

You've got to have a lot of RPM's before it is effective. Mine works best @ 2000+ RPM's. The faster the motor is turning, the more back pressure you get. If your motor is turning that many RPMS and you don't get any slow down, you may want to check the butterfly valve in the exhaust line to see if it is closing all the way.

I'm not sure if they are new or not, but i checked out Jacobs web site which are the people who make the brakes for the big rigs (Jake Brake) and they now make the same brake for the dodge trucks. I also thought I saw on the site that the brakes Doesn't void your warranty.
Hope this helps.
