3-stage Jake brake switch

I was just wondering if there's any particular switch needed for 3-stage Jake brake.

I figured that a regular toggle switch would work, but I wanted to ask just to make sure. I'm getting rid of the truck that the engine came with and if I need to take the switches I will. It's for a big cam Cummins by the way.

Also, is the only difference between a one-stage and a 3-stage the switches? In other words a one stage does all three heads but the 3-stage does the center then the outer and then all three. Is that correct and it's just a matter of the switches for 3-stage?

 

Hey that's great. If I have to I can run two switches that's okay.

I like to have them mounted on my shifter instead of the dash anyway.

 

I could be wrong but I thought some mechanical trucks had something on there that when it comes down to idle that the jake brake stops working. I could be wrong though it's been awhile since I've ran one like that.

Maybe I'm thinking of pushing the clutch pedal in.

 

I think I was just having a brain fart. I think I was thinking about pushing the clutch in.

@BoxCarKidd that's a crazy thing you showed us there! Can you send me a link to that or get me a little clearer picture so I can read it?

That looks like some kind of old old remote control to shift the old Fuller Transmissions. Wow that is crazy cool!

 

I'm going to take the original switches out and I'll figure something to mount them on to my shifter.

I always hated having to reach up to the dash. My last truck was wired as a one position Jake brake and I put a toggle switch on my shifter and that was great. It made it a lot more fun to drive and a lot more practical.
