I have heard rumors that the parts from the tec brakes are interchangeable with the Jacobs. Does anybody know for sure?

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.

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...

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
