Some 3126B Engines on Freightliner Custom Chassis installations were possibly built with Jacobs brand exhaust brakes designed for 3126 Engines. The 3126 Engine brake (p/n=148-7479) has a .359" orifice to produce 55 psi backpressure while the 3126B Engine brake (p/n=156-4162) has a .433" orifice to produce 40 psi. The 3126 brake on the 3126B could cause valve failures.

Part 1: Exhaust Brake Assembly Removal
1. Before beginning the modification procedure, obtain new gaskets as required. In all cases where the exhaust brake has been installed on a vehicle, a 1436505 Seal will be required (this is the gasket between the header pipe and the exhaust brake assembly). If you must disassemble the header pipe from the turbo outlet to remove the exhaust brake assembly, a 1487472 Seal is also required.2. Ensure the vehicle ignition is off and that there is no power to the exhaust brake circuit. Unplug the exhaust brake solenoid from the main wire harness.3. Remove the air line to the air cylinder on the exhaust brake assembly.4. Note how the exhaust brake assembly is oriented so that you can install it in the same position. Remove the exhaust brake assembly from the vehicle by loosening the "V" clamps holding the assembly to the header
