Thanks for the info, Claude! Steve

No problem, Ozzy; thanks for your inputs on the matter. Steve

You’ve provided a lot of good info in your posts to this thread, Charles. Greatly appreciate the help! Steve

Many thanks for the quick reply, Ozzy! Steve

Ozzy, Interested in your suggestion about putting a 100 psi pressure regulator in-line to the compressor valve. Did you have a bad eb experience before installing the regulator? I kind of wonder why Pacbrake didn’t include one in the basic kit? Looking forward to your reply before I start in...

Greatly appreciate the pictures, Charles! I’m just about ready to start on the exhaust brake install and your info will help a bunch. Steve

Hey Charles, Thanks for the great info! Yes, my secondary filter mount is just like the one pictured, and I'm expecting it to interfere with the compressor, but I'll still look to see if it'll fit there. I have purchased Pacbrake's frame-mount for the compressor but it's not here yet (not...

Thanks for the suggestions, Ozy. Charles: mine's an early-build (Aug '02) '03 with the 6-speed trans. My TPS bell crank's located right in front of the intake horn under a black plastic cover, over which is where my secondary fuel filter's mounted. I'll definitely look at your thread about...

Thanks all for the replies. Overall, as with many things, I suppose it's better to have too much than not enough, so I'll consider going with a non-Pacbrake compressor. That said, what recommendations for one do y'all have and where did you mount it? Steve

Thanks, Dawg, that's a great suggestion too! Steve

Hey AH, Honestly, in addition to it being 15+ years old, that Rancho compressor's kind of small/cheap/noisy; I'm surprised it's lasted this long. I'm inclined to just not mess around with it and find another place to mount the Pacbrake compressor. I'm hoping to hear back from somebody who's...

Did a search before posting, but didn't find anything that matched up... I'm finally going to install an exhaust brake on my '03, and I'm leaning heavily toward the direct-mount Pacbrake. That said, I do also have the GDP secondary fuel filter mount on the engine by the TPS bell crank housing...

Greatly appreciate the replies y'all! Will advise back on what I decide to do with this. Steve

Yea AH64ID, I factored in that same thought too. It'd be easy to fab up the needed long wiring and temp install it for an ops check, so probably wouldn't hurt to try. I could set up the approx gain/etc and have a buddy drive the rig down the road while I drive beside the second trailer and...

Yea, I can see where my wording was a little confusing. I'm not going to tow a third trailer, just a larger second one with electric brakes. A big reason I thought about wiring it the way I mentioned is to cut down on the amount of splices/etc needed. I've already spliced into the 5er's...
