I am pulling my 3580RL Big Sky 2011 with a 2002 Ford F250, 7.3 Diesel, 4 Door, 4 x 4 drive, auto trans, trans pressure lock, extra trans oil cooler,SWB, Edge Conputer System, Prodigy trailer brakes, AFE Forced air system, oversize exhaust system, Firestone 5000 air bags and a B&W companion hitch. I have been thinking about adding a exhaust brake as I pull in alot of hill country and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The diesel mechanic I have used for years recomended a B&D Exhaust Brake with a B&D Torque Lock. He prefers the B&D system over the Banks because the Banks has more electrical components for problems. Total price out the door $2,100. To you that have a exhaust brake system how does this sound to you. Would like to hear your pro or con thoughts on this.
