DIY Exhaust Brake

[94redbeauty]

Well, just want to let you guys know its well worth it for the few bucks it cost, took me an afternoon of screwing around with it (as I cut a bunch of wires that I shouldnt, replaced dash lights, and screwed up my DIY AIC in the process ) but its all up and running now, works real slick, cant wait to hook up the trailer and see how she works.

Sounds good, do you have any pics to what you did or links? Thanks Ed

There are a couple of pics Here, but I just followed the article Here from Steve Baz, and its pretty straight forward and most of the part numbers are right on at Radio Shack.

I find mine to be quite useful too. Some guys don't seem to think they work that well but mine will slow you right down.

Dad has one on his 97 and it seams to work better when engines RPM's are higher when you activate it. In his case if we're running in OD we shut the od off, wait a few seconds then flip the switch for the EBV. Works good, better than relying on the brakes alone.
