Exhaust Brake Help Needed...

The pacbrake is solenoid operated so that it can interface with the ECM... plus later if you wish, the air system will drive air bags and air horns...

I have the Jacobs brake and I have bought 3 of the vacuum pumps from Cummins for $95 each( Dodge wants $680 the last time I checked) If it were me I would get the Gear Vendors or Us Gear the one that uses an electric SOLENOID to switch the exhaust brake in and out. I have 270k on my truck and have been thru 3 vacuum pumps and fixing to get a 4th maybe. Anybody have a copy of the wiring diagram for installing the exhaust brake in the truck. Usually they last 100k,this one is intermittent. I am wondering if something else has crapped out or maybe salt corrosion is causing a bad connection. OH YEAH It is definately worth the money. I am still on my original brake pads and I tow '40 RV's all the time.

Do you recall what the current pump part number is? TIA!!
