WTF?! A REAL Jake brake for a dodge?! I want!!
this is not an exhaust brake...this is an actual engine brake that works off the valves effectively turning the engine into a wheel driven air compressor.
basically the compression and power strokes are turned into "load" strokes... so intake intakes air like normally, valve closes, compression compresses till just about TDC, then the exhaust valve is bumped open by the jake brake to release all that compressed air....then the valve closes which it is supposed to be closed during the power stroke.. so now the power stroke is just a vacuum stroke with valves closed causing an additional drag on the motor. far more effective than exhaust brakes that just choke off exhaust flow to slow the motor.

That new Ford has too much of a newer Dodge stance...Ford=F*cked Over Rebuilt Dodge 
lol. As to that engine brake for Cummins..I had a guy come into work one day who had a Jake Brake on his 3rd gen Cummins and he said he liked it a lot. This is one here is pretty kick a$$! Anyone know how much for something like this?

I fear you are correct, but, no offense to anyone, but I can't stand the patriots. A team with a qb that pretty should not be that good. I sat there in utter disbelief last weekend, all season really, as it seemed play after play the pats had an extra player. Someone was /is always open. Brilliant play calling, brilliant coaching, brilliant qb, brilliant receivers (Walker)...it's sickening watching perfection over and over..kinda like Jimmy Johnson always winning the cup or crown or whatever they call it now. It makes the whole sport boring when you know who is going to win every year.
I still believe organized crime is involved in most pro sports.
