jake brake?????????

20007.3L · Jun 20, 2013

Anyone ever attempt to look into setting up a Jake brake in there truck? I am not talking about an exhaust break. I am reffering to an actual tranmission or motor Jake brake?

Jake brake refers to just an engine brake. A transmission brake is used for launching in drag racing

Pacbrake makes one for Cummins

Thats an exhaust brake

No, its not an exhaust brake. Pacbrake, makes an exhaust brake, yes. This is an engine brake. For the 6.7 Cummins. Same principal as a Jacobs brake

Pedal Jake? Never heard of it, do you know how an engine brake works?

Now i wish they made these for 7.3L's

When you figure out how to rig up solenoids on the exhaust valves and then a way to control it you can be the first

Any ideas? Or if they do make a housing with the solenoids for a 7.3L motor? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

My guess would be, to do it. It'd be more money than its worth

This company said it might make them for the 7.3's. They are still prototyping everything I believe.

I want it!

Why do you need an engine/exhaust brake? Do you understand the differences between the two? If you just need to knock some speed out of downhill towing, a ebpv setup would probably work fine for you. What is a "pedal jake"?

Or mybe u should ask your self WHY has jacobs not made one for the international engines. Its been brought up b4 and came out to the fact of it would damage the engine due to the design of the engine. I belive the lifters were the problem

That and could this motor withstand the Compression ratio when the Jake kicks in? hmmmmmm

Theoretically it couldn't/shouldn't be more than it does under power when you look at cylinder pressures under load . . .

This seems like another tool for idiots to put on to make their trucks more obnoxious and full-full their desire of a wanna-be trucker, complimenting their stacks and excessive lights. A few haulers will appreciate such in the mountains, otherwise an exhaust brake, proper shift strategies and proper working truck and trailer brakes would be just fine for anything these small engines can move.

B.Warning · Jun 21, 2013

Why do you want one so bad? There's no way you tow enough to justify the headache of prototyping one to fail. Purely sound?

I agree...........I just figured if it actually existed for the 7.3's. But i guess it doesnt. An exhaust brake isnt really woth it IMO seeing that im deleteing my EBPV
