1998.5 24 V Looking for an Exhaust Brake/Engine Brake, Install and option questions.
1998.5 24 V Looking for an Exhaust Brake/Engine Brake, Can you guys tell me what my options are, Are there different types?

I am looking for one that looks well and hopefully installs fairly straight forward.



Are they worth adding, Do some towing but have a lot of hill in our area.



Thanks

I put a Jacobs one on my 98.5 soon after I bought it in 2002, has worked perfect ever since. My loaded total weight is 36-37000 and I wouldn't go without it.

I don't believe Jacobs is available anymore.

It'll save your brakes and help you control your speed better when towing...
