pacbrake ?
I got tired of the green switch being in the way of checking my oil. and moved things around. but after i did it. i got to thinking maybe its not a good idea as to how i mounted it now. heres a pic of one its not mine but its mounted the same way as mine. do you guys think its a big deal?

That's a nice pic of the brake
I tuned the solinoid down in this pic because it hit the hood on my 05. One thing with Pacbrake I found it needs some tweaking to really make it fit and look as clean as it turned out in this pic.
Loving the new brake and Rotating the solinoid won't make any difference.

that makes me wounder if they just put them togather any old way. if thats the case they should just put the parts in a bag. then it can be plumed how ever you want it.

I think mine came assembled so it fit in the box not the truck
Also the instructions could use both some work and color to help make some of the pic easier to figure out. I kept going back to the online version for close ups and clearer pictures. I only used instructions as a guide & moved a bunch of stuff around to fit better.

Weird, I've had mine 2-3 years and it looks completely different, no problem checking the oil.
I think some rubber bushings have worn out though, my compressor has quite a bitta movement on the mounting plate, also you can see how I had to grind down a wrench to get at that bolt under the compressor.

This is my first exhaust brake, but third compressor. I called & talked to someone at Pac Brake. Apparently they've had trouble with the smaller compressors & claim this new larger one will do the trick.
