Exhaust Brake switch for 48re looks gaudy.

I found the faces of four presidents before I found where you put the switch.

Looks good!

One nice thing about the electronic integration is that I don't have to be concerned if I leave it on. It wont stall the truck or anything. The brake is also very quiet, at least when the truck is empty. Waiting to get the gooseneck hitch installed, and rack up 500 pre-towing miles. Then the testing begins I did run it down one of the local mountains and in T/H it downshifted from 3-4, did its unlock, re-lock dance and required no foot brake... nice.

You're gonna like it. Just remmeber to shut it off when it's slick out.



And . . . nice job!

BHolm,



Does the switch only use 2 wires? If it does I may use the Jacobs on/off toggle switch shown in my above link.

I didn't look very closely at the wiring. The wires run through a protective cover from the switch to the firewall. I didn't peel it back anywhere to check.

Thanks for looking.

Heres a photo of the Jacobs E-brake switch for the 48re. I think it's foolish and looks out of sorts. I would prefer something like this http://www.ronthebusnut.com/detailDisp_EXH-B SW.html recessed into the dash.

I'd rather have this switch ... if only the appropriate "brake" was available in the 5. 9.
