Description
With the release of the 6.7L Cummins, numerous advancements were introduced, one of which was the variable-geometry turbo (VGT). One of the major benefits of this turbo is the integrated exhaust brake, which uses an internal sliding nozzle to create back pressure for additional braking. For the majority of people who had never driven a vehicle with an exhaust brake, it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. But for those who were used to driving a vehicle with a traditional-style aftermarket exhaust brake, the factory VGT brake left something to be desired in terms of the braking force it actually delivered.
Unfortunately, there wasn't much that could be done to increase this braking power, short of installing an aftermarket non-VGT turbo and a traditional inline exhaust brake... until the release of PacBrake's LoadLeash engine brake! For those of you who plan to keep the factory turbo but need additional braking, the LoadLeash is a supplemental brake that works in unison with the VGT brake to double your factory retarding power. But for those who plan to upgrade the turbo for additional performance and reliability, we also offer traditional in-line brakes for the best of both worlds.
