and the people that think just because they have 4WD, they can do anything. i very rarely put it in 4 and i get around just fine.

 

Actually, yes - Jacobs was the OEM supplier for the factory or dealer-installed exhaust brake on the Dodge pickups until mid year '07 when they switched to the 6.7/VGT combo. That's why some people call it a "jake" brake. They are not necessarily wrong for referring to it by name, since it may have been manufactured by Jacobs. In that vernacular, it is simply a common reference to the process of managing exhaust gasses for braking purposes.

There's obviously more than one way of doing that, and "jake" is the referene commonly used in more than one way. Jacobs, Pacbrake, BD, Banks, U.S. Gear, etc. They all make exhaust brakes, of one sort or another. Lots of people just call them all "jake" brakes, because Jacobs was the most common and popular for a long time.

 

You know what grinds my gears?

these new stupid ventless gas cans it's impossible to fill anything with them, it takes an hour even if they don't airlock.

all because people are too stupid to use a regular gas can.

and don't get me started one the ones with the spring loaded tips on them that you couldn't use to fill a car or a truck of you tried... much less a mower without spilling it everywhere.

.

 

ventless cans are usless!! i poke a hole behind the handle. problem solved.

 

until you have to transport it or it falls over

 

well if it falls over the cap on the spout will probably pop off. i just put a screw in the hole.

all the complaining going on in this thread. ITS LIFE, DEAL WITH IT

 

Stacks on gasser trucks, thats gettin really common around here
Shiny Chrome stacks on an old rust bucket truck (especially if it's a gasser)

 

Every dumb **** with either a hemi truck, car, or mustang that will mess with me in town. I can't drive 20 miles with out some dip thong screwing with me. Sometimes I'll just floor it and leave them behind but other times I try to ignore it.

Fuel mileage man, I do it too, $4 a gallon hurts

Alright here's my deal with that issue. Everyone complains about how today's generation has no work ethic. So if someone works their butt off to buy a diesel truck, and then works more to buy upgrades for it, all while they're still in high school, I'm pretty darn impressed with them and would probably give them a pat on their back.

Sure I might not be under 18, but I, at 20 years old, being enrolled in college full time in both the fall and spring, worked my butt off to buy a donor truck with cash, bought every conversion piece I needed with cash, and performed 90% of the work by myself, with barely any prior hands on mechanical experience. And since then, still being enrolled full time every fall and spring, bought every upgrade and installed every one with my own labor. Sorry if I'm just a tad bit proud of myself.

But anyways back to the topic.....

Know what grinds my gears?

People who don't use turn signals.

People who ask me how much smoke it rolls. I respond with not much, its tuned clean, but I bet it will probably outrun whatever you drive and get better mileage to boot

Unlike many on here, I don't get a lot of people try to race me because of the stack. But I have the mindset of, if you don't want someone to treat your truck like a performance truck, don't make it look like one. I kept a side exhaust for a year while the truck was stock, and didn't put the stack in until the current performance work was done.
