Advise on best exhaust brake....

Hello looking to put on an exhaust brake on my 2005 3500 4x4 with auto trans. Had trans work done so it is ready for the exhaust brake. I wanted to know which one to put on. Give me your feedback on what you have on your trucks and what works best. Banks & pac seem to be the only ones i can run with my year being an auto. Thanks for the help.

I have a Pac Brake, works well, better than the Jacobs on my firend's 07 and cheaper than the B&D.
Lary here sells the Pac Brake BTW, it was cheaper for me to buy it through him than from Pac brake 15 minutes from my door.

Also wanted to know if you have to change any thing, I was told the down pipe, It is a stock 4" pipe now. If any mods need to be done just wanted to know. Thanks

4" is fine, that's what I have, didn't need to change anything there.

Did you have to do a trans command module. Also what speed dose it hold to and did it help on warm up. I have been told it helps warm up to operating temp. sooner. Thanks

I have a stick so don't need the module.
As for warm up, it's great. I turn it on and do the fast idle and it warms up pretty quick.
Do a search on here, Pac Brakes work well (I don't know much about the Banks, nothing of their's is too well liked on here though it seems, pricey I think?)
