convoyduel Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 It would be cheaper to buy a set of speakers, an iPod and get a audio file of a jake brake to play whenever you want to slow down. It's a lot cheaper and would have about the same effect as a Jacobs Brake on an E6-350. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakerstwo Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 No a jake brake on a mack works if you use your imagination and open both doors with the window rolled up.Put straight pipes on it so you will know when its working or not. glenn Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnstransport Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 One guy I knew was making conversation and brought up our old 93 DM model, what the specs were, I told him "300 maxidyne with a jake", he gave a sarcastic gasp and replied "The Dynatard?????" to which I said "yep it's pretty 'TARDED alright!" sometimes I crack myself up . . . . .

convoyduel Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Had a Jacobs Brake on a 1990 CH613 with an E6-350 Mack. The Jake was absolutely 100% worthless. We had the overhead run several times, tuned the Jake, etc. and nothing. It certainly worked as in "operated as designed", but it didn't do a darn thing.

I have one of each and on a long down hill grade it will help to keep brakes from getting hot. But the engine does not have enough cubit inche display to be as good as a DD or cat.
