Just wondering, because there's a huge price difference and people are going to post links to things like pac brake, bd, ats, and such--none of which are engine brakes.
Why not just contact a jakebrake dealer, they make a setup for the m11.

What's the difference? Does an engine brake cut off fuel, and the exhaust brake restrict exhaust flow?

Good people and good prices, and a large selection of used parts. I know its a good ways away from you but its worth a try.
