Jake brake

I just installed a Jacobs exhaust brake in the truck. Seems to work well to slow down empty, can't wait till Spring to see how it performs towing. It should help out a lot with the hills here in East Tn.

That 6.7 with an Aisin sure is a sweet set up!

Love the Exhaust Brake on my truck! Had it on my last 2 Dodge Rams and it really does work great! Towed our Montana all across the country and the exhaust brake really helps while going through the mountains and even when slowing down on level ground too. Always have it turned on while towing and even use it when empty too sometimes.

I can't imagine pulling a large trailer in the mountains without the exhaust brake. Makes me feel like I'm driving in control.
