Deuce exhaust brake?

[Alex400]

Has anyone put an exhaust brake on a deuce? I was wondering because with the deuce brakes not being as good as full air brakes, and the engine alone not being very beneficial to compression braking, I thought maybe an exhaust brake would help slower them down a bit more.

Any opinions?

If you are patient and do a careful search, you will find several threads about exhaust brakes for the deuce. And yes, cranetruck has one on the cranetruck I believe.

Thanks guys. I was just curious if anyone had and what kind of luck they had with them. Thanks!

Yes, have had an air operated butterfly valve in the exhaust pipe for some time. It is great for long downhill drives to keep the speed down without using the "service" brakes. Used it extensively during the Rocky Mountain crossings a couple of years ago...greatly adds to the confidence factor.
