All right, this is our second educational video that we've got for you guys, the buyers
of the PacBrake exhaust brake.
Now, on our last video, what we talked about is when you're purchasing a PacBrake exhaust
brake, do you want to purchase it for vehicles with existing onboard air or do you want to
purchase the PacBrake exhaust brake that comes complete with your onboard air?
Today, what we want to talk about is the difference between direct-mount brakes and inline brakes.
Now, as we're talking about the direct-mount brakes.
I want to do those first because it's kind of the easiest one to talk about.
In light-duty diesel applications, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, the only model that we offer direct-fit
brakes for in the PacBrake exhaust brake line is going to be for the Dodges with the 5.9.
So, 1995 because of the OBD2 constraints, but '95 to 2007, 5.9s are the only ones that
you can get direct-fit PacBrake exhaust brakes for.
I want to give you a visual representation of what we mean by direct-fit.
Now, if you're ordering a direct-fit, if your platform ... Let's say you have an '05 Dodge,
you're going to be ordering a direct-fit PacBrake exhaust brake, you have to make sure that
you have the stock charger.
The direct-fits only work on the stock turbos, or a drop-in modified turbo.
So, if it's a modified turbo like an upgraded Fleece Cheetah, or something of that nature,
as long as it's a modified stock appearing turbocharger, you're going to be able to run
a PacBrake direct-fit on that.
So, enough about that.
But what do we mean when we say direct-fit?
What is a direct-fit, Wade?
Well, this is a 5.9 common-rail turbocharger.
What happens for direct-fit ... This is actually an inline mount on the PacBrake.
But the PacBrake will bolt directly to the turbo at the exhaust flange of the turbo.
Super easy install on all of these installations, so I definitely suggest, if you have a Dodge
5.9 and you've gout the stock turbo on it, definitely go with direct-fit.
Direct-fit is going to give you a little bit more responsive of a brake, super easy to
install, like we talked about.
Less chance for leaks because you have less connections there, less seams that you're
working with in the connection.
So, direct-fit is definitely the way you want to go if you fall into that application.
Now, Dodge guys that are watching this, if you've got a 6.7, you're probably wondering
about that.
The 6.7s, for you 6.7 Dodge guys, PacBrake does do a brake all the way up to the 2018
model year at the time of this video, and it is an inline mount.
So, your 6.87 guys, we've got an exhaust brake for you too, but it is inline mount.
All right?
So, that's direct-fit.
There are no direct-fit PacBrake exhaust brakes for the Chevrolet or the Ford applications.
Now, let's talk inline mounts.
This is an inline mount brake.
Just kind of a general overview of this.
This is a four-inch PacBrake exhaust brake.
This will mount on your exhaust side.
This will mount in your exhaust, in a straight section of exhaust for the inline mounts.
Does not mount to the turbocharger.
It mounts in your exhaust.
All right?
Again, let's talk about your Ford and Chevrolet guys.
We only offer the inline mount for you guys.
Chevrolet guys, we have exhaust brakes for you all, and the Duramax is from '01 to 2007
through the LBZ platform.
No exhaust brakes for the LMM, LML, and L5P.
Ford guys, we've got you covered on the 7.3 engine and all the way through the 6.0.
So, it's also up to 2007 on the Ford PowerStrokes.
Inline mounts again.
Now, another caveat to that is you guys that have got five-inch exhaust, we do not offer
five-inch exhaust adapters on the inline mounts for any of the four-inch exhaust brakes inline
mount.
That's going to be Chevrolet and Ford.
That's going to be a little bit confusing right there for you.
So, if you have a four-inch, after market exhaust, we're not going to have anything
to be able to help you on that.
So, when you order your inline mount kits for your Chevrolet and your Fords, they're
going to come with the adapters for stock-sized exhaust.
If you do not have a stock exhaust on a truck, which most of you are not going to have, you're
going to have to order a four-inch mounting group.
If you have a four-inch exhaust, you order the four-inch mounting group for your inline
PacBrake exhaust brake.
Do not forget that.
Very, very important.
You want to make sure that you order the correct mounting group.
Again, stock exhaust, you're okay.
Comes in the package.
But if you got four-inch after market, you want to make sure that you order your four-inch
mounting group.
Now, let's talk about your Dodge guys on the inline mounts.
For your Dodge inline mounts, I want to talk about the '95 to 2002 trucks.
On the inline mounts on those trucks, again, you're going to need to buy the correct mounting
group for those, and this is another one that only goes up to four-inch.
We do not have any adapters for those model trucks that we talked about, the 12 and the
24 valve, we do not have any provisions for you for a five-inch exhaust brake.
Now, I know you've noticed that I said that, that this is a four-inch brake.
That's it.
That's because there's only a four-inch brake for those trucks.
So, only going to adapt to the four-inch exhaust.
Now, you '03 to '07 common rail guys, if you've got five-inch exhaust on your trucks and you're
doing the inline mount, we've got a brake for you.
We have a five-inch inline brake that's going to come with a mounting group that you need.
Now, '03, '07 trucks, if you've got four-inch exhaust, it's already going to come with the
mounts for your stock exhaust.
It's four-inch.
It's going to come with the mounting that you need.
If you've got a five-inch, you've got to order the five-inch part number for the inline mounting
kit that comes with everything that you need to install it.
That's a lot.
I know that sounds a little bit confusion, but here's the high points of it: Chevrolet
and Ford guys, all we offer for you are inline mounts only up to four-inch, okay?
Dodge guys, if you've got a 5.9, we've got direct-mount or inline mount, you can do either
one you choose.
If you've got a stocked turbo, I suggest that you do the direct-mount.
If you have a after market turbo, I suggest for you to do the inline mount.
The inline mount is going to give you the ability to still be able to run a exhaust
brake in the truck.
You want to make sure that you order the right mounting group for it based on your exhaust
size.
Okay?
This is real clear on our website.
As long as you're using our year, make, and model feature on the website, it's going to
drill you down, it's going to get you to exactly what brake is going to be the right brake
for your truck.
We're going to prompt you with the right questions to be able to help you with your shopping
experience.
But if you shop like I do, you have questions about this like that: Why are they asking
me what size my exhaust is?
Or, why are they asking me about the onboard air?
These are important things because PacBrake has got you covered for all of those different
things that you've got going on for your truck.
I know there's a lot to this, but we wanted to make sure that we did this video to be
able to hell you all make a educated decision as to what exhaust brake that you use for
your truck.
So, I'm Wade from Thoroughbred Diesel.
