I contacted PacBrake to find out when they will have exhaust brake ready. Here is their reply.

Hello Phil
The Pacbrake for an 2003 Dodge should be ready in about 6 weeks. Keep in touch and I can keep you in the loop for when and where you can get one.

If you are interested e-mail them and ask for info. The time line sounds like the middle of Dec. I believe the cost will be about the same as current models. With their kit it takes 1-2 hours to install. This is a must if you are towin in the mountains.

Yup, phox. Wife talked to her friend the other day, her friend talked up how important an exhaust brake is for towin. My wife came home and gave me the old sales talk for one. I told her we would get one as soon as they are available for 2003. <br><br>Wonder how I could get Wife's friend to promote some gauges for the new Tow?

BD-Power has two 03 model Rams in the shop right now having brakes(as well as other parts) prototyped as we speak (?). Was talking to them this morning and was told they should be done in a few weeks. I have an 02 and run their brake, awesome unit!!

Have heard conflicting info as to the exhaust size in the 2003. If an ehaust upgrade is going to be needed to enhance performance I want to take care of it all in one shot. Or are the exhaust brakes all the same size either way?

You should be able to get one from jacobs brake they are the ones cummins sells and there priced right. The one for my 01 is only $665 from my cummins dealer give the jacobs web site a try
