Ok I have a crazy idea, yes I am being childish with this thought but I think it would be cool if it works. I purchased a 2021 RAM 2500 with the Cummins, I love how quite and smooth the truck is but my old school logging background has me wanting the exhaust to sing a nice note when the exhaust brake is being used. I found some exhaust cutouts that open and close in 1 second so they are a lot faster then the traditional motor operated cutouts. These run on vacuum so my idea if it is possible is to have the exhaust cutout open any time the exhaust brake is being used, hoping to get a fun exhaust not like a old school Detroit ripping down the hill with full jake brake on. I realize it wont sound the same but you get the idea.
So to all of my fellow enthusiasts does anybody happen to know how the exhaust brake on our trucks work, as far as how it gets its signal, is there a way to obtain vacuum on a diesel I know the older trucks had a vacuum pump I am not sure on the new ones. Any comments or feedback would great, like I said this is just a childish idea but I think it sounds fun if its doable.
