Exhaust Brake Price Increase

[Prairie Dog]

Carlton it's nice to have someone like you here. I regret that I will never be able to convince my self to lay out the extra $ to buy your brake. I believe the competition makes a good product too and with the DC part being (most likely) twice as much, I just don't feel I'm getting good value.

Wait till you price the others. BD told me 2 mo. ago theirs was giong to be more than $1,000. At that time they were looking for an 03 to fit one to.

I won't pay that heavy price increase either! The initial offer to us by DC was like holding a piece of candy in front of a kid, and then taking it away!!!!

I spoke with my dealer yesterday concerning the price increase on the exhaust brake. Since I bought the brake at the $299. 00 offer and it was written up in my deal, Chrysler will honor the deal, and if they back out for any reason, the dealer will stick to the deal that was made! The dealer was very clear that I would get what was in the deal!

We have a brake that is going to be available for $1095 US. This will be a air activated brake that includes the compressor. We should be able to ship in about 2weeks.

The old truck had sufficient vacuum on board to handle the exhaust brake... .



The new truck, like the Ford no longer has the ability to support the exaust brake... . ON the Fords, PacBrake has decided to go with a compressor not a vac pump..... I'm expecting my first group of exhaust brakes for the 03 just after the first of the year and I'm assuming that they will have either a vac pump or air pump in the kit... ... .



I'm guessing that the dealer has been quoting you prices based on the old kit... .



When we quote for the Powerstoke or 5. 9 used in a midrange truck we always ask if there is air brakes, etc on the truck and provide the kit the customer needs for the installation... ...



've just been reading more of this thread... ..... I wish I had more time... ... . I also follow another board and just don't seen to have the time... ... .



Back on subject here..... I have just received our cost on the new PacBrake, and know that we will be selling under the $1000 price I've seen here for the other products... . I also have orders for them... ... ... and would offer this board some at a special price but to be honest... ... ... don't know if they are going to 100% fill my stock order... ... If I get all of them..... than there is some to spare... ... .



As a long time reader of the TDR but new to this board I'm still trying to learn the ropes so to speak..... I do personally have 6 trucks in our fleet that have engine or exhaust brakes on them.....



Have a great holiday..... I'm out of here... ...
