Exhaust Brake

[Archive]

Has anyone installed the TST exhaust brake ? I've been surfing around and came across the TST brake. I know most members that have the "e-brakes" are using either the Jacobs or B+D models. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The brake from TST is the Pac-Brake. All are good brakes. The only thing i have found to consider is if you plan to upgrade the turbo housing the E-Brake will not accept a non wastegated housing.

I had the US Gear brake on my now-sold truck. It was a wonderful piece of equipment! I spoke with the owner just yesterday, and it is still operating perfectly after 5 years. Compared to the other brands, its operation is more quiet so it can be used in town without nasty looks!

There is no problem using a PacBrake on a non-wastegated turbo housing.
