Compression Brakes
Jake brakes, a.k.a. compression brakes were initially distributed and patented by a man named Jacobs. The original design work was done for applications involving cummins engines but the designs were broadened to work with cat and detroit engines.
The patents have expired now and engine manufacturers and aftermarket sources exist.
About 10 years ago I priced an aftermarket compression brake system for a NTC 400. The kit and install price ran about $2.2k, then.
Call Cat and ask if a compression brake is available for your engine from the manufacturer and call your local diesel shop and find out what is available aftermarket. Get a competent shop to do the install, tolerences for jake brake settings are as small as 3/17,000.
It is important to remember, the amount of braking horsepower an engine can produce is based on the engines hp. ( for instance: a cummins 600 produces more braking hp than a cummins 350.)
One additional note: I think small towns in western Canada may profit from the sale of brake shoes. There is nothing more annoying than coming down a 25 mile 8% grade and entering a town that has signs up that say, " Use of compression brakes prohibited." If jake brakes were good enough for John Wayne, they're good enough for western Canada. :cussing
Detroit locker makes limited slip and locking rears. We used their product in a mid size truck and were very impressed.
Good luck finding ( or modifying) the truck you need.
