DIY Pacbrake Install

I worked for Cummins CT for 40 years Dodge stopped the use of Pac brake because of trans damage, I would not recommend using one.

I wouldn't put one on an older auto either.

Mine came wih one. Manual transmission. Cummins 2002.

Should I be worried?

It's aftermarket.

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.

I put the 4" inline PRXB on my 03 6 sped and I love it! Craig

Check these guys. Good equipment http://www.dieselperformance.com/

It was only the auto trans on Dodge that would not take the pac brake I dont't rember all the details but it set up some kind of shear in the clutches and would burn them up,Std tranny is not a probelem

My PRXB PacBrake has worked great on my 04.5 Dodge CTD For the past 8 years.
I under stand that the Dodge 47RE transmission in the older Dodges had problems with the PacBrake. The later model 48RE auto that is in my truck has no problems with the PacBrake PBRX setup
I would contact the folks at PacBrake and get their opinion.

Best money spent on our 2001 Ram 2500!

The install is easy. As long as you have a way of keeping the trans locked up when letting off you will be fine.
