Jacobs Brake?

[encantotom]

here is the installation manual for 8v92 jacobs brake.

http://www.jakebrake.com/service/pdf2/003879.pdf

it shows for ddec2, which i have has a connection that goes into the ddec...however i am sure that is not the way that i have it hooked up.

it also shows a high low switch.

so in the non ddec hookup, i dont quite get the connections.

is it one wire for each bank or two wires for each bank? one wire for low and one for high?

Hi guys,
Back to my discussion with my bus garage friend. He informed me that a jake brake and and exhaust brake are two different systems.
The jake is an internal system that does not cause any damage to the engine with it on all of the time.
The exhaust brake is a system in the exhaust system itself and can cause damage to the turbo and engine if on all of the time. He said that there are not many detroits that he is aware of that have an exhaust system but it something that you should be aware of if you do have one.

This topic sure has generated a lot of interest.

Happy travels, Wally Arntzen
