I test drove an 08 2500 with the 6-speed auto tonight and while driving I tried looking for the switch for the exhaust brake. I didnt look to hard since I was driving and it was dark and I wanted to just see how they rode. I saw a switch that said light load, was that it? if not, where is it at?

 

The Hemi's have a switch that says "light load", sure it was a cummins?

maybe they put the wrong button on....was it dead center?

 

The switch doesn't say exhaust brake or anything on it. It is located in the center of the dash underneath the little cubbyhole under the radio. If the truck you drove had a power rear window, than the exhaust brake switch would be located directly to the left of the power window switch.

 

OMG i drove a 6.7 all day Thursday and didnt even think of the exhaust brake. Im STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yep, it was the 6.7, 6-speed auto with 3.73's. It had the automatic rear sliding window. I didn't thinking about pushing the button on the left since it didn't resemble anything like an exhaust brake or say anything. Like I said it was dark and driving and didnt want to drive and mess with it, plus I was not seriously looking at it yet, just wanted to drive the new auto basically. What is the Light Load button on the diesels for?

It's one sweet driving truck thought. When I drove it, I noticed the torque when you put it in drive that it gets a little lurch forward. Anybody else's do this or notice it?

 

Yah mine does that that what happens when you have a real engine under the hood son. LOL "the others have to have 8 to make the power of 6"

 

Light Load is the tire pressure monitoring system.

 

Does it actually do anything or just turn it on or off? My dealer didn't have a good anwser for what it does.

 

I like my exhaust brake switch!

 

It will save on the breaks. I haul a 15,000 lb Toy Hauler and can tell the difference with out it. Going down a steep grade in 5th will maintain a steady speed with very little breaks applied.

I thought it was the satalite radio button
