I have a 03 GMC 2500 HD, Duramax, Allison, 5 Speed with tow mode. I tow a 33ft.
Fifth Wheel. Thinking about getting an exhaust brake installed. From our home in WI, I have towed to CA three times and thru the Ozarks about a dozen times. I feel the Allison and tow mode has done a pretty good job, but on some of those long down grades, I’m thinking, is this best I can do? Considering the Banks Exhaust Brake and the 4 inch Exhaust System. What I’m asking is it worth the cost, it ain’t cheap!
Sure would appreciate any pros or cons.
