Doubt you fried it but you could have jammed it in gear. Try putting it in gear say 3rd high with ignition off and rock the truck back and fore. Given it's a Landy you may need a couple of mates to help do this.

I replaced the split charging solenoid for my dual batteries. I forgot it was in gear and went to start iy. It lurched heavily. Now it won't do anything. No clicks and certainly no attempt to crank. There is a voltage drop, but that's it. Did I...

I have been doing some preliminary research and there are some Isuzu vacuum operated units that look promising. Again, I doubt I will move forward but learning about things tends to be helpful one way or the other.

Exhaust brakes are excellent on HGV's and I personally can't see any reason why one can't be retro fitted to a Landy. I've no idea what stresses it would put on the engine, but if you do decide to give it a go, please make a post on here and...

Just to set minds at ease i am not going to pioneer this. If someone with these engines had success, I thought it would be a novel way to help my 109" since the brakes are ever a challenge. I am not risking my motor thought. If you think a...

I used exhaust brakes on HGV's decades ago with varying degrees of success, depending on the veh. manuf. You need a large piston surface area & relatively high engine revs for an EB to be effective.

I grew up driving an old 70s van, and for me, using lower gears is the best way to help braking. I would not bother with exhaust brake as it might affect the engine and combustion cycle.

So, no. No one has put an exhaust brake on one of these lol

This little trailer doesn't have brakes. Upgrading the trailer is (a lot)more expensive lol

What is a matter with the trailer brakes? In good order the trailer brakes will be coming on with only a normal light touch on the towing vehicles brakes. And the more weight there is in the trailer the harder its brakes should come on. Or is...

@miktdish An exhaust brake is a valve that closes in the exhaust to create back pressure to make engine braking more effective. I use downshifting now to take pressure off the drum brakes, but (idealy) an exhaust brake would make that much more...

Has anyone installed an exhaust brake, or considered it, and has a good reason it's a dumb idea? I yank a utility trailer full of fire wood around a bit and the drums get "warm". i use what engine braking is already available top pretty good...

I am comfortable swapping out the front hogshead I have, but not setting up the rear, and the quote on that around here has been. . . high. Not sure how i want to proceed.

WTB overdrive for LT230 For sale 3.54 Rover hogshead, $1200 and Salisbury 3.54 ring ,pinion, case and bearings $300. I may still get the money together to get there rear set up for 3.54's but parts and labor are 3k . . . it's give or take really.
