Installed my eBrake today. :D :D Everything went pretty smoothly. Had to make a run to the hardware store for a pipe bushing because the elbow to the solenoid was the wrong thread size. Getting the belt around that dang tensioner is a real sob #@$%! :-{} The sound of the vacuum pump is a bit annoying, but I think I'll get used to it. Got to be real careful with that turbo gasket, it's a bit fragile.



I've never had an exhaust brake before. After a short drive, I'm sure I'll NEVER be without one again. Primarily bacause of the added safety, but also because of the extended life of the service brakes, assisted engine warmup and because it just sounds sweet. The shifter switch and light is cool too. . kinda big-rig like :cool: Can't wait to hook up the boat and try this thing out for real Oo.

Yep, getting the belt on was the worst part of the whole job. If I hadn't taken the old one off myself, I would swear that you could not put the new one on w/o removing some parts first.



I am perfecting the art of brake-less turns at intersections by using the exhaust brake. I suppose everyone behind me wonders what's wrong with my brake lights.



BTW, fix your sig.
