Default Exhaust Brake Question

Sweet forum here guys...

Have a question about the exhaust brake on the 6.7L. How does it work? Do you have to push a button to engage it, or does it come on by itself? My 6.7L is on the way and will be delivered this summer. Can't wait. I think Dodge diesels are faster, sexier, and more reliable than the competition. Get some.

There is a button below the A/C controls (or Heater controls) Depending what parts your'e from. You can turn it on/off with the button.

Onces you tow with an exhaust brake, you'll never drive another truck that doesn't have one.

Thanks man. Probably the extent of my hauling will be to go pick up a Christmas tree once a year. I can use my exhaust brake for that. My wife wanted more of a "mini-van" set up for the baby. But I was like..."look honey, it's a MEGA-CAB...you can fit like three kids back there...or something...right? Don't you want the kids to be able to help Dad load up the Christmas tree?"
