The first three hits on a Google search had prices from $1000-$1400. So I think $3K would be the absolute max. with full installation. Probably closer to $2K.
It would be fun flipping the switch and seeing the lil econobox drivers crapping their pants after they cut in front of me with their...
Can an exhaust brake be added on after the fact? I could probably use one on that pig of a truck I drive around. Invariably the light will turn yellow when I'm 400' away and running 50 mph. :(
If so, approximately what can I expect to pay to have one installed?
Also, you're used to your gas motor which has a much wider powerband. Big diesels usually stay between 2000 and 2500 rpm when you're accelerating so there will be an increase in speed without a big increase in rpm. Your gas motor will rev up a couple thousand rpm for that same speed increase.
Carl, you're used to driving trucks with standard transmissions. There was absolutely nothing unusual about the acceleration phase of that video. 100% normal for an Allison.
Ahh, now I'm getting it. Different environments require different approaches. Something like Andrew's short wheelbase truck but 4X4.
Something like this? :)
Check this one out, Scott. 6th row down, first column.

1997 IH 4X4 with an Altec AM855 (same as mine) for $28,500.
How new of a truck are you looking for, Scott? Sagon in Atlanta has some older ones that are pretty cheap. If you want something newer, I got my last one from NUECO in Birmingham.
