we have a 1977 KW W900 with a 3406A CAT engine. It is equipped with the old brakesaver that mountes between the engine and the tranny, and uses engine oil to act as an engine retarder. It currently doesnt work, and leaks like a syve, so the question i have is:
Can the brakesaver be removed, and a spacer plate installed, or will we need to lengthen the drievshaft to do so?
Any help is greatly appreciated as i have had little success in my efforts to find answers.
1996 Ram 2500 reg. cab longbox, #6 plate, 191 Deliver valves, 60 hp injectors, star wheel turned up a lot, AFE Stage 2 intake into a Phat Shaft 62 wastgate set at 40 psi, 4" straight pipe, Auto Meter Gauges, ATS tranny and TC (unfortunately), Dick Cepek FC-II A/T 265 LR16 (good tires). FS-2500 Bypass Filter. The only hands that work on my truck are my own.

I havent worked on the A models but one the E's and the C-15's it can be removed but on those you have to get a different oil pan and block off some of the piping if i remember right. and you have to make the drive shaft longer, have to get a new one, cause the linkage will be out of whack and the input shaft on the tranny will be longer and they dont make langer ones. have you thought about getting it fixed?
