You might want to get ahold of Fred Swanson in Waddell, AZ. I believe he sells and installs PacBrake. Joe F. (Buffalo)

The concept behind them is all the same, resrict exhaust gasses. The only real diffrences are how they actuate the mechanism adn the quality of parts used. Oh, and of course what you pay for them.

I have put a J brake on an "04" Laramie as an accessory. They are weaker than what you could have bought in 1998.

FWIW, I love my Pacbrake and they have excellent customer service!

FWIW --- The banks kit comes with a 4inch downpipe and the brake mounts under the truck...



Nice for the 03-04 crowd that has a stupid 3. 5 inch cast elbow hanging off the turbo

I was real hapy with my Pac-Brake, but it has now been down for almost a total of 6 months out of the 20 months that I have had it. First find a bad relay and then wait for shipping, then I have to e tinto the shop for the repair, warranty item I could not do it myself. All was good for a while then the selenoid goes bad, wait for shipping and me being able to get to the shop, (they coverered the part on warranty even though I was a couple of months out of warranty, then the shop and I split the labor since I had previous problems). The wrong part arrives, more time for shipping and me to get to shop on a day off. All was good for a week then more problems. They believe it is an air leak, I checked all the fittings (spayed a soapy solution and got no bubbles). I will now be replacing all the air lines and fittings as a last hope. If this fails I will yank the @#$% thing off.



I made the offer to drive up to Surrey so I could get it fixed right, only four hours and I get to make a beer run also, no reply back from Pac-Brake.



I had really liked it even with the early problems but I am not a happy camper anymore.
