...I really don't find the exhaust brakes to be THAT good. My Peterbilt Jake Brake is a "10" and my Ford Pacbrake is a "3". I realize the comparison in weight and all that, but even if that were considered, when my Jake goes on when I bob tail, IT SLOWS DOWN enough to where I never turn it off. The Pacbrake is very close to the line of not even worth paying for, but is does help enough to be "sort of" worthy.
