Exhaust brake required on Standard Transmission. Not authorized for automatic until 2006 model and then, per Topeka KS dealer, only after a certain build date. Has to do with shaft and computer memory sizes not large enough to handle stress (shaft breaks) and memory to hold all the new instructions for the ebrake. I asked specificially about voiding warranty and he said DC would not authorize certain warranty repairs if ebrake installed on automatic -- some things still covered, some not. Basically, he asked if I was prepared to be my own warranty person if something did happen.
