Possible Jake Brake for 2004.5 through 2006 Automatics
Got a call from my salesman, who is also my best friend, so I know this is for real what he was told.
He recieved a package from Dodge today that said they now have Jake brake exhaust brakes for the 2004.5 and up trucks. He has part numbers and all. It was a pretty big packet of material from what he said and he did not have the time to read all of the fine print.
I am wanting to know if anyone else has heard this. I thought that it was not possible right now, and would not be for another year or so.
I am not wanting to start any fights or get into any arguments, I am simply looking for any more info on this subject.
I know that is it is true, I think that I will be one of the first ones in line to get one for my '05. We are fixing to buy our first camper so the timing would be really nice.
Anyways, let me know if there is anything out there that I might be able to get my hands on to let Matt know if his info is good or not, and if I should tell him to order me one.
Thanks a bunch guys and gals and this site rocks!

I work as a tech for a dodge dealer ,and yes it is true dodge does make a factory e brake for 05 06 dodge diesels we have instaled four of these e brakes they work very good .the only thing that i don't like about it is it has a push pull switch mounted to the shifter lever to activate the e- brake

Could you get the service bulletin number and we could check with our local dealers. It is easier to ask if you have a number . We all have waited for DC to supply one. Thanks Stackerman

Are we sure that the buletin is talking about the auto's. Because you can get one for the stick but as far as I know not the auto. The price I saw from the dealer was $1300. or so. But I don't think that was installed. I would love an exhaust brake as I am neering the second brake change on my truck at 50k. The first ones were done at about 20k I think.

I just picked up some parts from my local dealership and they had the papaerwork\brochures sitting out on the counter for 04.5+ Autos. Covered under warranty and all. It even talked about the low monthly cost of owning one if it were purchased as an option on new vehicles....
