Gitpik,

What sort of price did you get? I am looking at getting a Jake put on from one of the Langley dealers and it is looking pretty expensive..$2000+

Is there an on/off switch on the Dodges for this? At the firehouse I have the ability to turn it off and also vary the kick in rpm(for an auto that is). I will be getting a 6sp man when it comes in.

Do you still have the stock 48re or did you upgrade it besides the Maghytec pan in your signature?

Had it installed for two days now and love it, have the switch on the shifter stick. Sheeeeeesk !! never have to use the brakes anymore, best thing since sliced bread, got it done via a buds trucking company, Total $1750 Cdn funds. Thanks heaps for all the tips and good info guys, and a big Merry Christmas to all.

I'm confused would the PacBrake work on an '05 48re??

Thanks

Not sure if I understand your question but if you are asking if the brake has an on/off switch..the answer is yes. On my auto you can leave the switch on and it will work down to 20 mph then unlock the TC and the brake shuts off. On your manual it will work even better.

I usually have the switch in the on position and use the EB at all times, not just towing.

My chum told me I was nuts to get a Pacbrake installed on my new truck. After I had it done I took him for a ride. I'm taking him today to pick up his truck over at Pacbrake having one installed. When we get there I will say, man you have to be nuts !! :-) :-) lol

Gotta love the Pac Brake! It slows me down like the Lambo does downshifting! LOVE IT!
