I believe Pac brake is developing an engine brake for the 5.9L's but I cant imagine it's gonna be cheap. Exhaust brakes run about $1000.00 so a complete engine brake kit might be around $5000.00

Thats crazy sane but that would bee pretty pimp to have an actual engine brake that would be awsome i just dont like the possible price. What would all be involved in and engine brake for the 5.9s like what would you have to add or chang over

This is the installation procedure on a 3406 Cat but it would be similar on a 5.9 Cummins.
