E-brakes

I have been reading on this site for a few weeks now, you guys are pretty impressive with all your smarts, learned about the 3 cyc. start the other day and went and had in enabled yesterday, worked this morning, sweet. I am looking to get a brake form everything I gather BD is about the best form what I read, what are any of you running, if you are how well do you like it? Any insite would be helpful.

Re:E-brakes

My new one is ordered with the Jacobs E Brake. Check with Cummins to see if there are any warranty voiding issues with any other makes of E Brake.

Re:E-brakes

I am finishing up an article right now on the Pac-Brake product. It will show installation and give an overall view of how it works. <br><br>I hope to get in format to publish here shortly perhaps it will help shed some light on your search as well. I can tell you that I am impressed with the quality and function of the Pac-Brake at this point.<br><br> Nice high quality and well engineered product.

Re:E-brakes

One thing to keep in mind is if you ever plan on bombing. When I bought my truck I didnt even know about bombing. I have the jacobs brake but if I would do it different, I would go with the pac brake. You can then go with a full four inch exhaust, and a bigger turbo. I am limited to what I can do with the jacobs. If you dont plan on going crazy, the jacobs has given me no probs whatsoever.

You can get the Pacbrake for the gen 2's in either 3 or 4 inch.

I've run the BD brake and turbo to tip 4&quot; exhaust now for about 5 months and love it. Nice sound, brake works awesome. No complaints.

Re:E-brakes

I went with the mopar/jacobs e-brake just to ensure no warranty hangups. I have been impressed by its performance and the install wasnt bad either! Only took an hour and a half .
