I had a Banks speedbrake on my 09 chevy, and it worked great. In many ways, better than my factory 2011 chevy EB. Banks had much more stopping power than the Factory EB. If I wanted, I could just about stop the truck pulling my trailer downhill, whereas the factory EB tends to just help slow the rig down.
But I do like the factory EB better in one way: just push a button and it turns on. Banks required much more than just a push of a button. But I have heard the newer Banks units might have a one touch capability...not sure.
However, my Banks had some faulty cabling, but was fixed under warranty. I bought it from a online 4x4 parts dealer and worked directly with Banks for my warranty issue. I first had to contact the seller, but they hooked me up with Banks, and from that point on, it was all Banks helping me.
Also, installation takes about 5-6 hours the first time you do it yourself.
