    Jacobs vs pacbrake not much money difference?

    I found the Jacobs brake for 1050 and the pacbrake for 920 with shift controller- not much of a gap at all now. I do not believe the pacbrake will damage myh truck- but there is the argument that the jacobs was designed for the truck.

    Jacobs vs pacbrake not much money difference?

    2004.5 6sp what exhaust brake is approved?

    I cannot seem to find this info in search. We want to install an exhaust brake, the Dodge says anything other than mopar will void the warranty. Others say pacbrake is fine. I can't find anything on Dodge website either. As always thanks for your help.

    front receiver hitch

    Hi I am having trouble accessing any info on the warn website, I can't find anything with prices. The hidden hitch looks pretty straight forward. I will probably go with that unless the warn has higher capacities. Thanks for the link. The replacement bumber is out of my price range :(

    front receiver hitch

    Anybody have any thoughts on how to attach a receiver hitch to the front of the truck for a 300# dirtike? We haul a fifth wheel and may tow a boat behind that so we want a receiver for the front. Thanks Rebecca

    rails vs brackets superglide

    Does anyone know if you have to drill for the brackets? I understand that the rails are a no drill application. If I do not have to have a clean bed, I can save a little money going with the brackets Rebecca 2004. 5 qc sb 3500 srw
