Joel Ashley:
Make sure with a new one that you use the prescribed lube regularly, and remember some malfunctions have been due to a seized solenoid rather than the valve mechanism.  As others say, though, the best prevention is probably regular use so corrosion can't get a bite anywhere.

You might shop around a bit for the replacement, as though the style of brake is commonly called "PAC Brake", ours is actually made by Jacob's, the inventor of the "Jake Brake", a different type of animal altogether;  ie- there is more than one manufacturer of what you want.

Jerry Emert:
You guys are killing me!  Every time I look there is another thing that needs maintenance.  Geeez!

Gerald Farris:
Jerry,
Your Thunder does not have an exhaust brake, so that is one maintenance item that you do not need to be concerned with.
