Discount Jake Brake

[GregSmith]

The Dodge "business link" offers the Jacobs exhaust brake to new truck buyers for $825. Is this a good price? Thanks for your help.

The cheapest I have found them is $1250 at the dealer I bought the truck from so I'd say it's a very good deal. Is this price only good when you buy the truck or is it a Buisness Link member deal for anytime after purchase?

400. 00 as it sits now.

They are on ebay CONSTANTLY

Vaquero: the explanation wasn't clear if the purchase applied only to new vehicles. Might be worth investigating.

Greg, Can you post the Dodge link that you saw?

This is the text from the Dodge Website, now how do I qualify for a commercial account? (read disclaimer at bottom) Do we need a group on wannabee new Ram purchasers to ban together and do a group purchase, I like the $300 dollars off, and discount on e-brake, and free over the rail diamond plate aluminum tool box.

I tried it and needed a CDL or actual proof that I had a business. That was not dealer bs because I was right there when I called. Last year it was $300 installed and that was a real steal because that price did not take in the increased cost of the Jacobs Brake due to the vacuum pump factor. D/C (to their credit) stood by the price. Whatever the price, I will tell you, after having had the Jacob's Brake on both my 98. 5 and my 03 that it is worth it. It works very well and it is blessed by D/C and Cummins.

I may need correction on this but I bought truck 60 days ago and was given $300 off invoice for owning my own business etc. Inquired about running boards,tool box,jake brake and was referred to a accessories store and quoted $1800 on brake. Kept pushing the brake issue and parts and service manager would not even discuss anything less then $1800. 00 Told them I thought there were special incentives on this. Got deer in the headlights look. Should I print the Dodge incentives page and go visit them?

 

[DPKetchum]

I took the printed web page to the sales/business manager at the dealer were I bought my truck. He said HUMMM. Then said well you got the $300 off and its a either or situation. I said if thats the case I'll give back the $300 and you get my Jake brake put on for this price. No response from him(deer in headlight look)I said I think its the $300 and also these other items of my choice. No response!He did'nt have a CLUE about this program. I want my TOOL box also. Will now fax him the phone number listed on this thread and tell him to start sorting it out!
