I want to hear from those folks (if there are any) who have had a 48re fail on them from an exhaust brake.
Please limit the discussion to 48re only and I'm really interested in stock HOs.
I know they are not authorized. I've heard all of the warnings. What I really want is input from the people who count, THE DRIVERS!

If you read the 48re/exhaust brake thread on TDR, I believe someone is having theirs rebuilt right now tht was using an exhaust brake. I think if you don't change that thrust washer and get a TC lockup controller you are asking for trouble.

 

well I guess I got my answer. After a week on this forum, we got NOBODY that actually has a failure due to an engine brake, just somebody thats" heard of one".

 

I wouldnt do it....Trannys get expensive. I found that out with my rig. you might wanna get a controller...and that washer job that other fella was tlkin bout.

Just my .002 tho

This has been discussed on here in the past. I believe most folks on here know not to use an EB with the auto.
