Sorry, but they didn't say. It turned out that there was 1 to many of one part and one part was missing. I'm going to be talking to them later this morning and will see if I can get any more info.

PS
They are still waiting for the new kit to arrive.

Re:My 03 exhaust brake has arrived!!!

I got my exhaust brake ( Jacobs) last Friday and I installed it over the weekend. It is a good kit and it went smooth considering that my garage is about 18&quot; longer than my truck but an least it was heated and it has been cold here.(Below zero F.) I have always had a problem and I thought it was the nature of the beast that when you took your foot off of the accelerator the engine did not quit accelerating for a half a second or so and since I had the Throttle position sensor of to install the vacuum pump this has not happened. I think that it was either hanging up in the cable or the tps was to tight. They tell you to tighten it to 35 ft. lbs and mine was a lot tighter that that from the factory. It sure is a lot nicer to drive on Icy roads now that this is fixed. <br>Jim O

JimO - is your TPS mounted to the engine? If so - what exactly did you take off and re-torque? Mine is mounted to the engine and gets the &quot;run on&quot; feel you describe in some situations. <br><br>Thanks<br><br>Mathew
