diesel Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I bought a 92 CH613 with a 22 ft aluminum grain box. I was wondering if it was possible to add a jake brake to the E7 engines? Where could I pick one up at? Thanks. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/4271-can-a-jake-be-added-to-an-e7/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxville Truck Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Yes absolutely!! I've put jakes on 2 ch's in the past month. Is your engine electronic or mechanical? (it doesn't matter) If its mechanical (injection pump) you'll need more switches. Check this link out.http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?s=&...ost&p=20960 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/4271-can-a-jake-be-added-to-an-e7/#findComment-22473 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bts-4120 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Also you can install an exhaust brake just behind the turbo, it does the same thing as a jake but you do not have to open up the motor to install it, cost a little less if you price a brand new jake Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/4271-can-a-jake-be-added-to-an-e7/#findComment-22479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noid93 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I would not recommend a exhaust brake(behinde the turbo). The performance of a jake is second to none. The brake power of an exhaust brake is not even close to that of jake brake. The exhaust brake just blocks the flow of the exhaust. A jake will open and close the valves on the engine heads at different times to make the engine take power instead of make power. I would not settle for anything less...

dak49 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I have had experience with both the Jake and exhaust brake, I think they are pretty close as far as slowing the truck, but the Jake does do a little better job than the exhaust brake. I do think the jake is better because of less wear and tear on the engine. What a Jake does is open the exhaust valve at the time the piston is coming up on the compression stroke allowing the compression to go out the exhaust thus giving the added noise in the exhaust. The exhaust brake will do somewhat the same thing, with a little less noise, and less retarding effect. And less cost.If I could get a jake that's what I would prefer, but the choice is yours.Good LuckDak49 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/4271-can-a-jake-be-added-to-an-e7/#findComment-22485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakerstwo Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 The exhaust brake that is in the exhaust pipe is better for braking if left off and used to drag behind you when you need to slow down. glenn Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/4271-can-a-jake-be-added-to-an-e7/#findComment-22499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
