3406E loud jake brake!

This is wood recovery's 99 KW T800, the one my dad usually drives everyday. Nothing between the turbo and the turnouts :) The jakes may not seem loud on youtube, but when you stick you head out the windows that thing just crackles! It was a deep loud jake brake, it doesn't bark near as bad as something like a C12 with straight pipes, and it's deeper. It has dual 5" stacks which is why it seems high pitched.

wat`ll happen it you ride your jake too long??

[Hotrodx199]

I honestly don't know.

[nazarethfan89]

to answer your question nothing living in british columbia my dad pulling the hills and then going. the only thing that would happen if you ride your jake to long is you might go deaf is its a old CAT like this one or the monster 3408D. jakes to fail now an then when your trucks has thousands of miles on it your jake spring will brake. but usually a good engine like a detroit or a cat they can stop you on the hill going down it so you dont leave it on for long anyway hope this helps you a little

[Hotrodx199]

I gotta say, those ISX Cummins motors will just about throw you out the window with the jakes on.

The 3406E is overhead-cam, like the 1673, 1676 and 1693.

[Hotrodx199]

Is that right? I do know that you couldn't get jake brakes for 1693's because i guess they didn't find a way to make them work with double overhead cams. You could get them on the 3406A pre combustion though which is like the 1693 i believe.

@CustomDeluxe1984 Lol, Most definatley brotha

[CustomDeluxe1984]

@WaWagasman she probly boogies on down the road though lol

[gtprix99]

@Thesouth0boyz nothin at all..its nothing more than engine compression slowin down your truck eventually you will stop

[WaWagasman]

@702hyerider You're right. Caterpillar parts are very exspensive. Cummins has really good fuel mileage. 389 with an ISX? That's a bad ass truck man. 4.1 mpg?? Damn, that is hard on the pockets

[702hyerider]

@WaWagasman yea it was something like 9500 at kw to rebuild. wow 6.5 is great for a w9, i had one i was lookin at buying with an isx but i thought about the mpg it would give for so long they ended up sellin it. my cousin just bought a 389 with an isx he said when hes pullin hills it goes down to 4.1. thats harsh

[WaWagasman]

@702hyerider 3406E's are exspensive to rebuild. What's it end up costing you? Like $10,000 or $15,000?

[WaWagasman]

@702hyerider Ahh, that shit blows! i would be soo pissed. I mean look, I am a Cat guy. I love the tourque they put out, and I love the sound of em. But the fact of the matter is, is that Cummins' ISX has more power, more tourque and better fuel economy. I was talking to to an O/O who was driving a W900L with the ISX, and he said that he was getting around 6- 6 1/2 miles per gallon. and Cummins parts a hell of a lot cheaper then Caterpillar parts, you know this first hand

[702hyerider]

@WaWagasman i cant imagine what would happen if u changed ur oil every 20 k miles but they went with it and used it as an excuse

[702hyerider]

@WaWagasman your not gonna beleive this lmao i change my oil every 10 k miles and they wanted the reciepts, well i had lost a couple of them so it looked like some of my oil changes lasted 20 k. its just rediculous

[WaWagasman]

@702hyerider Yeah man you aint lieing. They don't want to honor there warranty. What excuse did they tell ya?
