Bogie 10-29-2003, 09:38 AM started my truck up this morning...first cold morning of the year...was about -7 celsius, and to my surprise it started as normal, but after about 5 seconds of running the idle jumped up and my exhaust brake was engaged. I thought something was wrong so I shut it down, and restarted and it did the same thing. Got out the manual and apparently my truck has a high idle on real cold starts. Apparently it was working as normal..kinda nice surprise for a change hoot 10-29-2003, 09:52 AM Nice ! Some guys were asking about warranty denial when adding an exhaust brake.... GM sells Duramax equipped trucks with exhaust brakes... from the factory. Maverick 10-29-2003, 11:01 AM I often wondered if one could outfit a 2500HD/3500 with the factory exhaust brake from the C4500/5500 like you have. Both trucks have 3.5 inch pipe correct? I looked at one on a C4500 and it bolts in at the 4 bolt flange on the exhaust. Would be simple to put in but I need air I think.

Cheers Bear Jeli 10-29-2003, 12:56 PM Is the exhaust brake standard on 4500/5500's? Maverick 10-29-2003, 01:19 PM Is the exhaust brake standard on 4500/5500's? Nope....its an option along with the factory high idle or PTO provisions. I had the RPO code around here somewhere but can't find it now. Jeli 10-29-2003, 02:41 PM May need to investigate. I have access to small 12V compressors at work. Maverick 10-29-2003, 03:53 PM Jeli, I'll take one too! Bogie 10-29-2003, 07:18 PM are you getting this stom in Calgary, we are sure getting it here in the Hat. Cheers Bear Yes...storm was bad...worst thing was on one of my first stops of I ran over a curb as I was turing into a place (was about 8 inches of snow on road so i didn't see it) and bent the crap outta my rim and knocked the tire off it's bead. No rims this size (19.5 X 6.75) and bolt pattern in Western Canada...no spare either...still trying to decide what to do. They tell me it'll take 3-4 days to bring one in from down east...

That sucks. What are you hauling? Cheers Bear Jeli 10-30-2003, 09:48 AM Mav, I've got to get one and run it to see the max pressure it will produce. Right now they run on a low pressure system. I should be able to do that next week. hoot 10-30-2003, 09:51 AM May need to investigate. I have access to small 12V compressors at work. Are those compressors good for filling tires? I'm looking for something for airing up at the beach. Jeli 10-30-2003, 02:01 PM Won't know until next week. I'll get one today but my brother is up for the weekend and we have some serious drinking to do. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif I'll let you know as soon as I get it tested. | ||
