Looking to purchase a new Exhaust Brake and wondering if anyone knows where to get the part number. We are located in Canada and a parts store in the states will send me the part however if it's not the right part they won't except it back as they consider it a special order. Would purchase new or used if anyone knows where to purchase.

Ordering parts out of the states , for delivery by mail, has it's own set of problems with customs .
A friend ended up with a $138.00 bill from Customs & Excise on a $60.00 brake light switch.
Have you contacted the exhaust brake manufacturer, for a Canadian distributor ?
Are you replacing a defective unit or , installing on a coach that came without one?
Cummins engine?

The brake is working and the outer housing is rusted making the brake extra noisy. freightliner tells me the it was made by a company called smart break and they are no longer operating. If I can get info looks like after market or used. May be possible to get a machine shop to prefab one however it looks like a lot of work. Hoping someone will know the part #.

One option is to replace with a PacBrake. Best part is they are located in Canada.
PacBrake. 800-663-0096. You will need engine manufacture and model. I replaced the OEM exhaust brake on my MH with a PacBrake. Their support was very helpful.
