im just wondering for those who have these on there rides how often do you use yours?? I use mine on alot of highway and interstate driving but if im doing alot of slow in town driving i dont use mine cause it causes a hard downshift on my tranny when im slowing down at a speed of 30 mph or slower. So im just curious how everyone uses there Exhaust Brakes on there rides.

 

mines on all the time, I always downshift, the shifting is alot smoother and the eb is more effective.

 

I turn mine on as soon as I start the engine. I use it non stop. I rarely use the brakes anymore. Only to bring me to a full stop.

 

thats kool. it is sweet to be doing 70 on the interstate and not have to hit any brakes to slow this big rig down lol.

 

If you have a 6.7 CTD, you need to turn it on every time you start the engine. It helps keep the slides clean as well as saves the brakes...

 

kool thats some good info. i usually do turn it on when i start the like i said the only time iv turned it off is when im in slow city driving and what not. I guess i will have to keep it on non-stop.

 

Mine is on all the time unless I am in heavy traffic and not towing.

 

An E brake is on my list of things to do someday.

Someday .....

 

got mine onall the time, went through the big horn mtns. last weekend, went from 10,000 ft down to 3600 ft carrying my camper and hardly touched the brakes.
