I just bought a new Jacobs exhaust brake for my truck. While I'm waiting for it to get here, I thought I'd see if anyone had any tips or advice for installation. Also, I'm looking for a switch to mount on the shifter instead of in the dash, any advice on which ones are the easiest to use? and where to find them? Thanks in advance.

 

hears a switch I got at napa 20.00 and the wire connector is used in gm cars I also installed this switch on the dash to activate the circuit this is on a 98 with a 06 brake and g56 6 speed twin turbos.

 

If you don't like the larger shifter switches here is a link for the Pacbrake version, I'm sure you can get them from the DTR store as well

I used a switch from a truck with a 2 speed rear end.

 

this switch is like a two speed but has its own mounting and use a simple two connector. I still need a boot.

 

Ok, thanks for the help guys. I like the rocker switch a little better, driven enough old farm trucks I don't care much for that red button lol. Unfortunately, still waiting for it to get here. I sure wish I had patience...

 

I mounted the switch for mine low under the dash, using one of the screws that hold the plastic panels on, onto an alodined aluminum bracket.
I want to put it up on the dash, near the climate controls but I will be getting different switches for it.

 

I put mine on the floor using new napa floor dimmer switch sure its a three pole switch but you only need two of them just mess with it tell you find witch turns it on and off and then mount it were its easy for you too get too.

 

Well, I think I decided on the Pacbrake switch. As for the install of the brake itself, is it pretty straight forward? It's the Mopar/Jacobs brake so I'm sure it should just be a plug and play.
