Well, I appreciate the comments...

I also did my own stainless 6" stacks as well. So, if someone wants some ideas to use for that subject, PM me and if I'm around... I'd be glad to help.

well i got my pacbrake hooked up a week ago and i have to say this thing is sick, i love it. i was pulling my brothers 36' gossneck with his bobcat and backhoe on it and was able to stop my truck at the base of a 11% gade with no problem barely touched my brakes. the hardes part of the install is the exhaust valve springs pain in the ars compaired to the brake itself

 

Thanks a lot guys, i am about sold on the Pacbrake System, but beyond that, I have enjoyed all of the comments and stories about them...
Keep them coming if you have them....!!!!

 

Anybody got the brakesystemsinc.com Blue Ox exhaust brake. I've installed them on medium duty trucks and they work well. No restriction at all. And priced inline with everyone else.

 

nope never herd of it, looks to slow on reaction tome

 

Thats interesting. Does it require a compressor?

I much prefer an inline brake to the exhaust elbow type that I have now.

 

How can you tell that from a pic?

 

look at the travel distance, a whole lot more than a flap in our inlines

 

Better check their webiste - its essentially the same as what you have:

Brake Systems Inc. - Blue Ox Exhaust Brakes


That one shown is a Guillotine type - they have the butterfly type as well.

 

I finally got mine installed on the dually, I went with Pacbrake and also installed a set of bags and an in cab controller from them as well and just plumbed the two systems together.
It works pretty good!
I do have a slight air leak I have to find, it is at the brake actuator so I hear a slight sound of air escaping when it is ingaged, but once that is fixed I sill be good to go...

and let me say, it will stop a load of trees almost without hitting the brake until it gets down below about 1200 rpms...

Speaking or which, does anyone know a way to hard wire it to stay on all the way to idle?
