Yeah alot of guys will say "a built trans and a controller". I have a full on DTT and a Controller and can argue after many a conversation that the ONLY difference between mine and a stock dodge exhaust brake For "beefeyness" are my input shaft and drum are Billet. The converter is on the "Back side" of the veins when decelerating. You can have a omega awesome 150% 900 disk 4000 billet cover converter and as long as its built to make a truck go forward there should be no veins inside it facing the opposite direction to slow it down.
The only thing that is going to apply any sort of braking force between the engine and rear tires is by locking the converter and holding it. This is done via a "Controller" like I have (Dtt Smart Controller ) or a BD TorqueLoc, Suncoast , or I think Bully Dog or TST makes one too. Some are fully programmable like 2nd gear hold, hold down to 18mph, when lockup engages on accel and decel, what speed you want OD to come in and to knock it out. They range from like 300-900 bucks depending on bells and whistles.

Brandon,theres a shop i take my truck to for all my major stuff.I asked him about an exhaust brake for my truck and he told me about a thing needed on the auto tranny for the exhaust brake to work.I know it's not the torque lock.I'll call him on monday morning and ask him about it and pm you back.

BD's torque lock actually keeps pressure on the Throttle Valve, This will cause more firm/later shifts, and also keep increased line pressure on the clutch packs. A lock up switch is practically a necessity on an auto running an exhaust brake. If you don't have one, you will just free wheel and won't slow down at all.
It is also recommended to install a better input shaft as well.
