Jake Brake install&cost
Does anyone have suggestions on where is the best place to buy an exhaust brake? Is it a very difficult install?
I had one installed on my Ford due to time restraints so I dont know how tough it was, the fact that working on the turbo on that thing was a PIA was enough for me to send it out.
Is there quite a bit of wiring to go along with it to control the A/T?
I just called a diesel outfit here in Phx and they want over $800 for labor alone.
Sugeestions on which brand you guys are having good luck with would be much appreciated also.
Thanks!

Becker Diesel in Sacramento is installing BD trans and BD brake as I type this.
They have done tons of stuff on my Ford and I highly recomend them to anyone in Sac.

Ok, I just looked at the receipt for my Jacobs from 2 years ago, and I paid $675 + $25 shipping. The install was easy and straightforward.
See my post #39 in this thread for the dealer & phone number.
