Hayseed Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Paul, I have a sneaking suspicion that "Newto" used to be the Australian Distributor for tecbrake..... Might be worth chasing up?? 1 Quote "Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind....don't matter." - Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52652-another-jake-brake-question/page/2/#findComment-412578 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swishy Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Mrs Gudday m8 If all the dynatard hardware is fitted n adjusted correctly only need to replace 'O' rings on the solinoids other than that electic problems ....... Key ...... fuse....... relay....... fuel pump switch (=fine adjustment) cya Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52652-another-jake-brake-question/page/2/#findComment-412646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Thanks Swish man I might need to look into this further before handing over some hard earnt then I have always been very unimpressed with Dynatard Heard back from Pacbrake and it's a no go on a Jake brake for a 2 valve Mack Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52652-another-jake-brake-question/page/2/#findComment-412671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kav Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Paul, I agree with you about the Dynatard being unimpressive. Even if you get them operating perfectly as Swishy said, they are only about two thirds as effective as the Jacobs in the two valve motors which is all that I have. The other disadvantage with the Dynatard system is that the Rocker shaft wears a lot more than the plain non Dynatard shaft and this oil blows out the Tappet cover Breather. Over the years I have converted three maxidynes from Dynatards to the Jakes and I found it was well worth the trouble. The Jakes in a Mack have never ever been as effective as in a Cummins, so if you are expecting those sort of results you will be disappointed. When Mack in Brisbane brought out the first Econodyne motors they switched to Jakes, so they must have seen the advantage in them. I have heard of a system where a mechanical exhaust brake was fitted in conjunction with a Dynatard or Jakes and this was very effective, but I have not actually seen it. Just a few ideas, Paul.
