One thing to consider, if you have a manual transmission, the exhaust brake is a good investment and you won't regret it. If you have the automatic, you should not install one if you have not had the transmission rebuilt and upgraded for the use of an exhaust brake. The 48RE, in its stock form, will not handle the reverse torque from the use of the exhaust brake. That is why it was never offered from the factory as an option for the automatic.
The exhaust brake has caused zero problems with what I believe is a stock transmission in my 04.5. I am second owner. Original owner had the exhaust brake installed, as he towed a fifth wheel.
