Exhaust Brakes
The Jacobs Exhaust Brake® uses exhaust back pressure to dramatically increase your braking power by restricting the flow of exhaust gases and increasing back pressure inside theengine.

Benefits
* Improved downhill vehicle control
* A must for towing provides “peace of mind”
* Helps brakes last three times longer, paying for itself
* Designed, engineered andtested to OEM specifications
* Jacobs, maker of the “Jake Brake brand engine brake, provides more than 50 years of braking experience.
How It Works
The increased backpressure in the engine createsresistance against the pistons, slowing the crankshafts rotation and helping to control the vehicle speed. Overall, this requires less use on the service brakes, which means they last longer andreduce overall costs.
Bleeder Brakes
The integrated design in the high pressure fuel rail allows for Jake Brake® technology without the added weight or height.

Benefits
* Increased vehiclecontrol
* Virtually silent, so it can be used wherever and whenever needed
* Design flexibility to work with virtually any engine
* Low added weight
* Reduced wear on engine, tires, wheelends and service brake
* No additional valvetrain loading
How It Works
The bleeder brake is a simplified version of our traditional engine brakes. When the bleeder brake is turned on, a pistonextends to its full stroke and stays there, holding the exhaust valve open a small, fixed distance throughout the entire four-stroke engine cycle. Since the bleeder brake only holds the exhaust valveopen a fixed distance, it can be designed so that is does not put any load on the camshaft and most of the overhead components. This makes the bleeder brake an ideal technology for smaller dieselengines.

The bleeder brake must be combined with either a VGT or an exhaust brake to optimize the retarding performance. The result of this combination is retarding performance comparable to a...
