Diesel Gunner, from your explanation I agree with petersonj, your vacuum cylinder is most likely the issue. If you don't have a vacuum pump to test the cylinder it can be checked by removing the two vacuum lines to the cylinder. Then hold your thumb over the end of the vacuum line or fitting at...

ewcmr2, sorry a 4" vacuum operated exhaust brake is not available due the force required to open a butterfly that large.
