If you search them on youtube you will come up with other videos!! Here is an 'update' from them: (Because of 'bandwidth' problems, I can't seem to post up the other videos.....) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ByCompressionRelease Dec 21, 2012 4,203 views 24 likes, 0 dislikes UPDATE: Ok guys, thought we should let you know how this project is going. First of all, this is still our number one priority, and though it seems slow, we are getting ever closer to a finished product. I read a statement on a Cummins forum one time, where a guy made the statement that it would cost the equivalent of several new pickups to produce an OEM reliable engine brake. Well that is true for sure. Now we are several months and many thousands of dollars into this project but we're getting close. We have made a change in our original plan for the release of the units. We started out by building a mechanical rotary valve to distribute oil to the cylinders. That was the simplest and most straightforward way. A mechanical valve on a mechanical engine, but obviously that method had limited potential. Not too many of you still drive a 12 valve. The marketability of the design would dictate that an electronically controlled version would have to be the end result for you guys with 24v and CRs. Our original plan was to release the rotary valve model for the 12v to fund the production of the others, but the rotary valve design proved too complicated and we never found a machine shop that would build them. We finally just decided to take the leap. We have two nerds... I mean programmers, writing code as we speak. As far as beta test vehicles, we appreciate all of your offers, and will definitely be in touch when the time gets closer. Meanwhile, know that we are hurrying as fast as we can. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First of all, thank you so much for all of your kind comments on our previous videos. We decided to show you a few still shots of our engine brake before Christmas. Please give us until after the holidays before you get mad at us for our junior high girl secrets, we just understand metal much better than we understand attorneys, and we don't want to do anything stupid. We would like to respond to some of your questions: 1) Do we have plans for other models? Yes, we have plans in the near future for second generation 12 valves, 24 valves, Common Rail, and Powerstrokes. 2) Can we ballpark a price? No, out of respect for our future distributor we will not talk about money. 3) Braking effectiveness? We don't have any real numbers for two reasons, the first being that everytime we take the truck out for testing, we giggle like school girls, make videos, and post them on YouTube against our better judgement. The second reason is because the answer is not in words, the answer is in numbers which cannot come from us. Someday soon we hope someone like DieselPower Magazine would stage a competition... we would love to participate. We can tell you that we have driven a 7.3 Powerstroke with an exhaust brake for 11 years and there simply is no comparison. 4) Expected release date? We can hardly sleep at night... so, believe us, as soon as possible. Fortunately, this will be sold as a simple, bolt-on kit, that you can install in your driveway in an afternoon with normal tools. So, if you are building a 12 valve... don't stop, you won't have to change anything except the rocker boxes. The pictures are from our original prototype and the timing mechanism presented here has been changed three times since then. What you are seeing, unfortunately, didn't work at all, but made for some really great pictures. The current timing mechanism is still under wraps until our deal is finalized.

I can't wait to tell my wife about this too, oh boy honey do we have an extra $2000-$3000 dollars. Kidding aside, I need one for all the hauling I do. Thanks for the information as usual.
