I installed a PacBrake exhaust brake in my 98 Dodge that is an automatic without doing anything to the transmission. I put it in back in 2001 and now has over 115k miles on it with no ill effects. Would not hook up my Monty without it.
The PacBrake must have some wiring that keeps the torque converter in lockup mode inorder for it to work. A guy that owns a large transmission shop advised me to not put one on without changing to a higher quality torque converter as the TC is the biggest single cause of failure in our type of transmission. Obviously with 115k on your truck with no problem it is working good for you.
