DIY Pacbrake Install
Has anyone installed their own Pacbrake? Just wondering how tough of an install it is. Installing on 2001 Dodge Cummins w/auto tranny.

The early versions of the 47RE had too small of a thrust bearing and they would eat themselves up. Manual trans and you are good to go.
Google 7.3 exhaust brake. The 7.3 has a valve on the back of the turbo that can be turned into an exhaust brake on the cheap. With a few wiring mods, the converter can be locked up at the same time the valve is activated. All for less than $40! Make sure your third brake light works.

Banks has an exhaust brake you install in the exhaust piping and has a transmission module that shifts the trains into the next lower gear as the rpm drops. I'm thinking of installing this system on my F350 Dually 4X4 7.3 liter. Will also have to install 4 inch exhaust system from the turbo back.
