Do you think Dodge should approve the use of an exhaust brake for the 48RE trannys?

You Bet Put Me Down For One.... Dodge Should Have One Available For Their Diesel's.
Most Folk's That Own Their Dodge Are Using It For Towing And Dodge Know's That. They Even Advertise Very Heavy About The Tow Ratings.... They Should Have One Available Or After Market Warranty Approved... It's A Safety Thing I Would Think....

Later John H

Yes! However I doubt you will ever see DC warranty approval for and EB on a pre-2006. Apparently there are many technicalities involved - Thrust washers, torq converter lock-up sensing, programming, etc.

I called the PacBrake factory and they told me the pbrx (or whatever it was) would not work on my 05 auto. Their cheapie model would but not the constant backpressure unit.

I will get the cheapie if nothing surfaces soon, but it seems like it is settling for less.
