Cat 3406e Weak Engine Brake

I would give up both my testicles before I would give up my brake saver

 

I have Brakesavers on two trucks, and one of them has jakes as well. I really like the Brakesavers, even if you do have to change the diaphragm once in a while if you run over 60 psi.

 

Might want to hang on to them. If you ever hang up your keys, you could join the women's swim team.

 

Good idea .. but I can't swim..
I reckon I could buy a set of clip ons couldn't I ?

 

I agree 100%

 

Neither could he. That's why he had to compete against women.

I know one thing for sure... pretending to be a woman so you can crush them in competition...that takes balls.

 

I had a 3406A was a Brakesaver engine, and 2 V8s. I just loved them, especially the V8’s. Same as a compression brake the bigger the horsepower the better the brake works. They worked way better on the 8’s than the 6’s. They work for a few things, maintaining traction for one. Lots of times I went over the top of something ugly with a couple psi on the Brakesaver to stop it wiping its feet. Saved having to make a shift in a sketchy place lots of times like that. But the ultimate is the Brakesaver/Pac Brake combo. That rocks.

 

Iam telling ya a brake saver is better than sex .. just for the reasons you mentioned

 

A word of caution though if you ever double those brakes up. ALWAYS put the compression brake on first if you’re on something steep. Had quite a ride off ####### Mountain one day. Had the Brakesaver on and when the 3rd stage of the Pac Brake hit it blew the yoke off the back of a 15 over. Got a ride and a lot of big bills over that one.
