Exhaust Brake Question
I am thinking of purchasing a BD exhuast brake, and I was wondering if anyone has used one on-board compressor to run both the exhaust brake and air bags. I really would like to just have one heavy duty air compressor that could run the exhaust brake, air bags, and a tank for airing up my tires. Any ideas or feedback??

The compressor we include with the brake kits will be sufficient to work with your airbags but I do recommend a tank with it, I like the Firestone kits and stock them if you are interested.

We have not developed one... we use the Firestone tank and compressor kits and sell the brake without a compressor at a discounted price. We try to keep it simple and inexpensive for the consumer.
What does your adapter kit come with that the Firestone compressor and tank kit does not?

With the exhaust brake and tank kit you have the option of the gage, switches and mounting brackets, all you do is run your extra lines and fittings pop in the in-cab gage kit and wham-O You have an all in one exhaust brake/air management/air suspension system. That works great and is inexpensive to boot.

I would would like to see your compressor tank kits, I do find the Firestone kits a little pricey. As far as becoming a Pac Brake dealer I am not sure I could move enough kits with are BD Brakes in stock. Have a good weekend, its Miller time, see you on the #1 hwy.
