Exhaust Brake

I have one on my 92 but it dosn't do much other than heat up your tranny fluid. I have the switch unhooked, and have not used it in years. They are basically usless for non lockup transmissions.

Just my opinion.

if you had a stick or a lock up TC it would be great but with your trans just put your hand out the window it will work better

Kind of what I thought, I guess I'll need to get a lock up on the TC as well

I have a friend that had one on his truck with the stock tranny, didn't do too much. I then built a DTT tranny for it, and it does work pretty good. He also had an extra cooler w/fan with the original setup that helps keep it cool, even here in AZ.
