I dont see a Pacbrake for 04.5's and up for $650? I see the regular Pacbrake for $860 and the PRXB for $1075 The only thing I found for $650 was the PRXB upgrade kit or am I missing something?

But yeah $650 plus $45 for shipping (for me) isnt bad at all I may have to send him an email and see if he has more, I did want to go with the PRXB but you cant go wrong at that price!

 

That's a great price. I just paid $400 more for the PRXB from Lary at the DTR store (but I really wanted the PRXB).

 

PRXB Upgrade
Brake Number C40111
"Brake Only"
$650.00

Who knows, I may may be mising something. I have no experience with them. Everything I've ever driven had "engine" brakes - those I can appreciate.

 

Yes you are missing something. The equivalent brake to what he purchased (jacobs on ebay) is 860 bucks. If you already have that kit and want to upgrade to a PRXB it costs you 650 bucks.

Now...if you can find your supplier that sells pacbrakes for 650 canadian he is going to sell a bunch of em real quick I bet.

And although the exhaust brake is not in the same league as an engine brake for performance, you will certainly appreciate one in our trucks if you tow.

 

Okay, trying to learn something...

Which is better, the Jacob or PRXB?

YOu can buy a truck with the Jacobs right from Dodge, does that mean they're better or more reliable in the long term?

HOw are they different?

I was quoted $1350 at the Ci=ummins store the other day for a Jacobs...

What about the ones from BD?

 

I really think it is preference some people will only use Jake's since they are factory recommended and factory installed others believe that the PRXB is the way to go. There is also the standard Pacbrake which I would assume would be like the equivilent to the Jake Brake. I like the idea of Pacbrake using a compressor and it not running all the time like the Jake. I have yet to get one and while I would like to get the PRXB but a price of $650 for the Jake is hard to pass up.

Oh and I havent really heard much about the BD.

i was wanting a pac brake but like you said the price was to good to be true.

i hope its as advertised and it comes with everything im going to need. are there any special tools that im going to need for the install?

brett

 

i got mine from the same guy and it was as advertised comes with everthing you will need dosent take anything special to put it in just basic tools and the instrutions will list them all

 

Thats a great price,mine cost around 1000.00 from the dealer,I did the instahl in the driveway,not hard just take your time.

 

Well im in the same boat as you are so once you get yours let me know how it goes for you. If you both get a complete kit from the same guy and neither has issues I dont see why not?

 

I found a website where the dealer was from Surrey, BC, but now I can't find it. I'm wondering if I didn't save it to "my favorites" on my home PC. I'm on my laptop away at work right now. Sometimes it's a pain to have more than one puter - I forget what's on which one sometimes.

Who knows, with the amount of sleep I've been getting, I may have been looking at a price for something else also - entirely possible.
