Great Ebrake mod

[roadranger]

I've installed BD's gearshift lever on/off switch to my Cummins Ebrake.



This thing is way cool! Oo.



Fingertip control of the brake, can easily shut off at traffic lights,

AND can easily feel if I turned it back on after the light.



Now I'm gonna use that old dash mounted switch as an anti theft device hooked into the clutch/starter circuit.

roadranger,

I left the OEM switch inline with the switch I put on the shifter mounted one. I found that when you take it someplace to have something done to the truck (tires, etc. ), that some guys will play with things. So now I just use the OEM switch to disable the e-brake.

is the BD switch vacuum or electrical?

on my 98 (manual trans) I had the BD hooked up to the brake light circiut. (blue wire in Trailer Brake harness under dash if I recall) It would only come on when I hit the brakes! After trying it, I liked it better then the normal hookup. Just touch the brake pedel and it would come on.



I was going to put in a SPDT switch with Center off, so I could use the brake both ways, but ended up traiding in the truck before I got around to it.

I had the BD switch in, but the rattling was rattling my mind. I used it for three years with a rubber band around it. Then I saw Pacbrake's new switch. Oh baby! It should be coming in the next week, would have been here already if not for the holiday.

Anyone got some pictures of these and any other shifter mounted e-brake switchs? Love to see some

danelle has the new pac switch, I think she likes it, also the standard 2 speed switch can be modded by bpine to eliminate the rattle
