Hi guys,

Looking at possibly getting an exhaust brake again.

Who has them on their 05s and have been happy with function AND reliability?

What exact parts do I need to get to make this work and work well? What brands do you recommend?

What are some other benefits of the ex brake? For example can I set it up to help me warm up the truck in the winter. Up north in Canada here, the dodges run way too cool when idling.

I have a single disk aftermarket converter in the 48re, works good, I understand this should help with ebrake.

Thanks again.

 

Super impressed with my Pac Brake PRxB. I've had it for a few years and it has been trouble free. The kit was very complete. The only thing I would do differently would be to have gotten it sooner.

 

I have a BD and is by far the best $ spent on my truck. I don't know anything about the other brands but I am very satisfied with performance of the bd, on the '05 they are air actuated and run a compressor so that is something to consider when purchasing. Which was fine with me as I also use it for air bags.
