[Grigg3]

@flippedmysled

Jacobs makes them. Check the Jake Brake website, listed under Detroit Diesel and 53 series.

[Rattacool]

That has a perfect body on it no dings or anything.

[MrDieselmaniac]

[heatherrose2006]

Any time I need a smile, I find myself wandering

back here to giggle at y'all law breakers and

[Grigg3]

Thanks,

Glad you like it, it was fun.

Don't miss "4-53T drive by" that one puts a smile on my face,

Grigg

[jonesd5o]

that thing is friggin sssssiiiiiccckkkk kick ass job

[madtownmadman]

@Grigg3 Wow. I just experienced a weird coincidence. I was searching Jacobs engine brakes for the Cummins 6bt, and was led to a forum where someone was asking if they make them for the 4bt. "Grigg", whom I can only assume was you, said that they don't make them for the b-series Cummins, but you had a pic of a Jake setup on a Detroit 4-53t. That must be this engine here. As big as the internet is, its still a small world. Funny thing is, I've seen this video a few times in the past.

[heatherrose2006]

Y'all are diesel heads after my own heart.

[GearHead1625]

are you going to put a body on that thing? or is it your custom street rod i think it looks sweet without the cab but it would be cool with one as well

[bullitt68charger]

who would need drugs if you had one of those?? id be one of the worse addicts(to that sound and truck) if i owned it  thanks

[JAROSLAVAGINA]

ohhhhhh nice!

[cvdwalt2000]

cool truck

[huettmr]

didn't even know that they made a jake break for the 53 series detroits.

[JunkWolf66]

hell yeah brother!!

nice

[1pinchipendejo]

Who needs a cab when you got a Screamin' Detroit!!!

[Bamchucknorris]

@1pinchipendejo well said

[ltdann86]

[396Diesel]

LMAO that is hilarious! Going to be an awesome truck when its done!

[53Belair1]

[tippycolfax]

That's great ,you guy's are the best.That looked like too much fun.

[Grigg3]

Working on exhaust with muffler and a different turbo right now, should have it running again in a week or so.

[lilbrudder32]

[ayoforyayo24]

[ENYoriginal]

LMFAO! A naked ass truck with a deathly Jake Brake!

[12valvepower1]

[monsterkid9]

your a nut great vid to

[poppiesrule]

WOW!

thanks for posting this grigg, that sounds absolutely beautiful. sorry i missed you in PA! jeep's running great now, did you see that video of the cj7 with a 3-53? check my favourites...

[juniusbugg]

That thing sounds awesome. Keep posting videos! I want to do something similar someday - maybe a mid-70s 4x4 crewcab dually with one of those powerplants. :)

[Hotrodx199]

I heard that the jakes on the 53 series really didn't do much as far as braking. I think it's because the displacement is too small to make a decent engine brake to slow you down on grades. 92 series had better working jake brakes due to the big displacement. But really they aren't as good compared to 4 stroke diesels such as cummins or cats.

[Grigg3]

BS! They work great on the 53 series. I have owned, driven and ridden in other Detroit53 series powered trucks with Jakes, and they really do work as expected. A 53 series is two cycle, the Jake brakes are about twice as effective on a two cycle engine compared to the same displacement 4 cycle with same number of cylinders.

[Hotrodx199]

oh really?

[Grigg3]

If they don't work then why did/does Jacobs make them??

[Hotrodx199]

True.

[rangerblue87]

NICE , you must be having a ball runnin that around

[RDG484]

Was this a fire truck at one time? Reason I ask is that the wheels are red.

[Grigg3]

No, it was a flat bed dump, and will be a flat bed again. I just wanted red wheels, and they'll eventually match the body.

[peterbiltexd]

now thats a jake big sound in a small package lol i love it 5/5

[DionysiosA76]

BODY..? what body! u dont need one!

[TechMaven]

How friggin' cool is that?! Keep the vids coming!

[davesgame]

Makes me miss my driving days in the big rig. Nice`work and I'm looking forward to further progress.

[studeystudebaker50]

sounds good looks good,I have a complete 48 chassis any one interested radidator to rear end,put the cab on a 79frame,453 engine,not finished bud getting there

[DodgeRamit02]

where in the world did u find jakes for a 453 detroit at, i want in on it lol

[Grigg3]

Jacobs made them, but not very common. My Detroit parts supplier is pretty sure they are still available new from Jacobs. I just bought some replacement parts, so some stuff is available for sure.

[MotelCambodia]

Cool sounding. Love em jakes. Sounds almost like my 353 when I had the jakes on it.

Cant wait to see it finished with a load on it.

[Slackerjr92]

Same here! I love it!

[lilbrudder32]

those jakes are sounding awesome, grigg... can't wait to see the truck once it's finished!
