Want to buy a newer truck was told the 6.7 came with an exhaust brake. What year did this start and do you like it or would you go with a Pac Brake or other?

Thanks

 

The 6.7L has had a factory exhaust brake (utilizes the variable vanes in the turbocharger) since it was introduced in mid-year 2007. I've owned 2 with it and they work pretty slick.

 

Had a pacbrake on my 04.5 with the NV5600 and it worked great. I now have an auto with the built in and that coupled with the built in trailer brakes work much better in my opinion. In tow/haul mode the auto tranny works awesome with the exhaust brake. I would buy this truck over and over again. By far the best Dodge I have owned and I've owned every generation and every motor.

 

Staarma how's it going?
What year did you end up getting?

Long time no hear. It's going good here how about you? Still in Canada land?

Ended up getting a '12 so I could get the HO motor but before the extra juice tank. So far I love this thing.

 

I know it! Yes; I am spending entirely too much time in Canada :-(
Glad to hear things are going well there! Remember me if you are looking for anyone....

I have been looking at 2012's as well; I need to sell mine first though; know anyone? I'll take 15k the way it is setup. 12k without the bumper and winch.
Keep in touch!

 

I will. Later...

 

Cool.
