Some one just posted looking for information about jake head for 5. 9 Cummins . I didn't think there was one? Is there?

As far as I know there isn't one and there are no plans to make one.



To have a true Jake design. You have to interupt the injection sequence. On the 1st and 2nd gens being single injecter lines per cylinder. It would be hard to design and cost would be very high.

you wouldn't really need to interupt the injection sequence. with no throttle, the governor will back the fuel off to 0 [engine is turning faster than governor wants with fuel setting, rack will be a no fuel] so all you would need to do is find a way to get the exhaust valves open...

All you need is a secondary v-tech type overhead cam? LOL

The old semi trucks with injection pumps just had a switch on the throttle linkage. When the throttle went to idle the jakes come on whenever the jake switch in the dash was on. Bad thing is the engine will die if you let it go all the way down. The new trucks with computers shut the jakes off, near idle rpms. This is much better not having to worry about the engine dying while trying to make a corner(thats when it usually happened to me)

Had that happen once or twice when we still had the old cab-over KW w/ a BC 855. Don't have that problem with the newer Mack or the T-800 (electronically controlled).
