bobcotkg Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I have heard rumors that the parts from the tec brakes are interchangeable with the Jacobs. Does anybody know for sure?Bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9396-675-jacobs-vs-tec-brake/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
b61fred Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 you a correct, the tec brake has all the same parts as the jacobs brake. All parts are available through tec brake's web site. You can get a rebuild kit for it, about a 100 bucks. I am looking for some of the little discs that go ontop of the valves, there are two sizes the ones I have are the larger ones. At 25 bucks a piece they are a bit pricey.Fred Quote 15 gears...no waiting!

Barry Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Confirmed! We have interchanged parts between the two brakes and everything is exactly the same. Jake parts work in Tec and Tec parts works in Jake...

bobcotkg Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Sweet! and only $100! Mine doesn't seem to work right. I put it on and it takes a long time to start to work and then doesn't seem to stop the engine really quick. When you shut it off and turn it right back on it takes quite a while for to do anything again. I installed it by the book so am not sure whats wrong. Figured it needed a rebuild and I figured the parts would be expensive as could be, but I am wrong on 1 part.Any advice helps alot.Thanks,Bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9396-675-jacobs-vs-tec-brake/#findComment-35230 Share on other sites More sharing options...
