engine brakes can be 6 cylinder, 4 cylinder or 2 cylinder if you have a 3 way switch.
No switch should be 6 cylinder and I would think high low would 6 cylinder and 4
cylinder but probably could be set up any way it was set up for.

Sorry
Not with our coach today.
No problem ...I guess mine would be different location on the panel because I don't have a tag.

Look at your manual or your build sheet. You most likely have an exhaust brake, there is no switch

So you are saying if there is a foot pedal there is no switch for high and low on the consol?

No, if you have an exhaust brake there is no switch.

I have a PAC-Brake, an air operated gate valve just after the turbo. If this is what you're referring too?

I have a switch in the middle of the driver's console that is a momentary rocker switch with with a green light that comes on at the end that is being pushed. I have no idea what it does. see pictures.

Thanks to everyone for your help!

That switch appears to be the "Pedal In/Out" switch according the manual. Of course it could have been rewired/replaced to do some other function.

My 95 sig. series crown royale , has Jake with pedal and hi/low sw. on left console. If I hit it high or low right as I take my foot off accelerator pedal it hits pretty hard and down shifts, just a little harder on high . If I'm coasting for a while it's far less pronounced , either high or low it's hard to tell the difference .

Pacbrake frozen

I have a 1996 monaco dynasty with a pacbrake installed.


Couple of questions first: the the pacbrake is frozen, I got it to move some but im pretty sure im gonna have to remove it to get it totally unfrozen.


Where the t connector for the air hose is there is a open end what makes me think something is missing,maybe a check valve?
I never dealt with this so im kinda going at it blind.
The end Of the T valve end comes off and i can see thru it.
Also I know the solenoid switch Is working. I know that a vintage rv has some hidden places to find these things. I went to pacbrake but can't find anything about this.
I have a cummings 8.1 36 ft that I fell in love with she has 74k and im am pretty sure it was park any help would be greatly appreciated
