Get your truck built the way you want it for $4. 5-5K under Invoice/FWP pricing...



You can pick it up in Spokane WA or have him drop ship it to a local dealer...

Pete, did you ever pick up and install a Brakesmart in your truck? I need to get something here very soon and was curious as to where you would have mounted it.

In reference tot he original question, atleast in my case, no the brake lights won't come on with E-brake by itself, just ask the STL county police officer that tried to right me a ticket for not having working brake lights! All to cover his a@* when he rearended me! Needless to say that was one headache I never want again, got my money out of it, but it was a pain. Funny how,even when you are in the right, every pig on the squad trys to screw you to cover for his buddy that can't drive... just my 2 cents, sorry for the rant... . just like telling that story too

That is a great story :-laf. I have had to let off the throttle at highway speeds quickly with the exhaust brake on and with the truck unloaded and not towing there is some serious slowing down very quickly... this exhaust brake is awsome. I always keep an eye on the rear veiw mirror just in case... people not paying attention can get caught off guard.
