Newly installed Jakes on a Detroit Diesel 4-53T

Quick run of the Detroit 4-53T with its newly installed Jake Brake units before I reinstalled the valve cover. Mainly checking for oil leaks and that all clearances remained after the engine is shut down. The red (hi-temp) wire is used to energize the solenoid to allow oil to fill the Jake galleries, thus putting the Jake units into operation. Actual Jake operation was tested after the engine was buttoned up. The 'saddle' that is seen being pushed down on the injector rocker picks up the injector motion and hydraulically transfers that motion to the adjoining slave piston that pushes down on its exhaust rocker opening the corresponding valves. Oil pressure normally brings the 'saddle' down only during Jake operation.

That thing runs like a top, sounds good, and is just so cool in general especially with the Jake Brakes.

I like the part where he revs it up and you can hear the Jake






Oh wait

Now that is secksee... I working on a 6v53 swap right now and would give my left nut for a set of jakes, and an air starter!

[Ramoncc]

What is the function of these Jake Brakes?

[kleetus]

I really wish you would have reved it up and activated it on camera. I would love to see that system actually operate. I know what it does, just never saw it happen.

Future video idea? hint hint...

[WARDKUSTOMZ]

how'd you get so lucky to find Jakes for a 53?

[truckbuilders]

i HAVE THE MOTOR IN A TRUCK AND WOULD LIKE TO ADD A SET

[peytonmaterne]

Did you replace the rubber seal rings where the oil supply connects the master to drones? If so where did you find them new. Mine are probably 50 years old or more.

[michaelmcclure]

I would love to put that in my dakota 4x4

[kevinhornbuckle]

Is that one master and three slaves? Where did you find a set for 53 series?

[hekili]

Does anyone know where to get jakes for a 453t Detroit? I can’t seem to find any

[WickedTRX]

Are they engaged all at once or is there anyone turning them on in stages?

It's hard for me to get my hand on one of those heads but i believe it's not that hard for me to design a and have CNC machine a set of those, i would use Fiat multi air solenoids
