Description
With the release of the 6.7L Cummins came numerous advancements, one of which being the variable geometry turbo (VGT). One of the major benefits to this turbo is the integrated exhaust brake that utilizes an internal sliding nozzle to cause back pressure for additional braking. For the majority of people that had never driven a vehicle with an exhaust brake, it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. But for those that 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 how much braking force was 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 in-line exhaust brake....until the release of PacBrake's LoadLeash engine brake! For those of you that plan to keep the factory turbo but are in need of 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 that plan to upgrade the turbo for additional performance and reliability, we also offer traditional in-line brakes for the best of both worlds.
