RowdyRebel Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 REALLY? NOBODY?? THANKS FOR THE HELP...........The jake on my E7-460 is crap...would be a waste of your money to retrofit onto a truck which currently does not have one.

msholl52 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 To put a jake on our E7 - 2002 - it was like $6000 for the parts and the install...Jacobs, not a dynatard or a power leash. My trucks with Jakes are great, the dynatards are worthless Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16742-engine-brake-options-on-a-e7/#findComment-72666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
