I gotta vacuum actuated Jake Brake that has been disabled since I got the truck. Assuming the factory vacuum pump is in working order, how hard is it to enable one of these? The vacuum lines run towards the back of the motor and havent checked the connection at the pump yet... Ill try get a picture of it up tomorrow.

Not hard at all, but now that it hasn't been used in a while...you may need to break it loose. It is probably corroded & won't move. This may help. http://www.pacbrake.com/PDF/L2014.PDF

Hey J, thanks for the link to the manual. Helped me figure out my solenoid is jammed behind the master cylinder and wiring arrays, leaking on my motor. I have yet to dive into that mess back there...
