I engage my factory exhaust brakes when I get moving whether towing or not. It saves wear and tear on the truck brakes by 20% according to Dodge. I like to use the electronic shifter to manually slow down the truck when coming off freeway etc. It will slow me down to about 20 MPH used this way. I agree with Hookman about carbon build up on these moving parts is not good. The last time I talked to the Dodge service people in Olympia about a problem I had with Regen on my Cummings they told me to "Drive it like I stoled it". So when the DW asks me why I'm doing 80 mph by the time I get to the top of a on ramp I say Dodge told me to!!! Of course she says I do it because I can! She might be right.
You gotta love the 6.7 Cummings right Mr. Sreigle
