I have the opportunity to buy a Jake Brake setup for my 8v71. It is complete and includes the valve covers, fuel lines, buffer switch (w/ fast idle), valve bridges, extended fuel stands and so on.
Price is in the 500 to 550 range with shipping to me.
What do you think? It seems like a decent price to me.
Any guesses on the labor charge to install this?
Thanks for your thoughts!

A set just went on eBay for about that, so it's probably a fair price. If nothing else, eBay is a good indicator for what people will pay. As you probably know, an item is worth about as much as someone is willing to pay.

The Jake folks will give you Da Book on instalation & maint .
After reading it , I decided changing brakes 10 times would be less work than installing one.
There are MANY tricks and adjustments , figure 10 to 20 hours with a GOOD experienced DD guy , who has done the instalation & trouble shooting many times before.
Good hunting , or just drive to LUKEs,or one of the Left coast shops with a good reputation,

If you are putting on an Eagle you will need the air intake, they are pretty rare.

Bart, What's different on the Eagle air intake if the engine has Jakes or not? I have an 8V92TA. |
