factory exhaust brake

all of you that have em please roport on how well they work and if ya have any problems with em

 

I dont have one since I am driving a 5.9 still, but I have test driven about 4 of the new 6.7's and driven a buddies at work and they seem to be perfect....the truck will downshift on its own in tow/haul mode quite well, but I was goofin around manual shifting the new auto which made it perfect. I havent been real happy with my auto, but the new 6 speed has me sold. Combine it with the exhaust brake and its the perfect combo for me...auto, shifts like a standard, has the benefits of the engine brake, what more could you want.

The truck at work is just hitting 40K kms and no issues so far...

 

I dont have one so I havent had any problems.

 

Brad how well does the brake work for slowin ya down.......seem to be adequate?

 

I traded my truck for the buddies for a whole day. Ran it empty, and with a small cargo trailer (18x8) full of pipe cones. Empty I never used the brake pedal at all using just tow/haul mode. Out in the hills I was manually shifting and still did not need to use the brake pedal.

Trailer definatley slowed, but I manually downshifted with the trailer and again you dont need to use the foot pedal very often. You do have to be careful on the ice as it will lock the rears easily, but in 4WD it was great on the ice....

I ran these in 3 of my duallys and never had an issue and NEVER replaced service brakes and we pulled trailers every day. At that time they werent available for the autos but I was really impressed with the new one on the 6.7. Every bit as good as running the 6 speed.

 

I've been very happy with mine. I pulled a freinds 28ft enclosed Pace with 2 quads & a side by side in it. It was great, especially in tow/haul. I use it in the city too, just because I like to pull up along side people & let it go off to see the look on their face.

 

I have had mine for a few weeks. It has been great, loaded or not. With a trailer, no brakes needed. It is very impressive. thanks Rick

 

I will never buy a truck with out one. i love it, i use it all the time

 

I use mine while towing. It will hold me at 47 mph in fifth gear, no matter how steep, how long or how heavy. That's averaging 10,000 lbs behind me. I now find myself looking for the button when towing with my old PSD.

I really like it. And find it to improve the safety of all towing situations.

 

I love mine, if I maually shift my tranny down I might have to use the foot brake the last 15ft when coming to a light empty, I drive harder than most. While towing...it's the next best thing to sliced bread, once you use one, you won't settle for anything less.
