2015 Ram 3500 review
I can now do an official report on the truck. Bottom line (at the top for your convenience) is wife and I are completely happy with our selection of the 6.4 auto. My old truck was an 04.5 CTD, SRW...

The 5.9 has absolutely no engine braking until you add the exhaust brake. So the exhaust brake was the first mod I had done to the truck. The exhaust brake was so good, that despite hauling a 11,800# FW for over 40k miles including a trip out west and back, I still had over 50% pads at 140k miles. The 6.4 engine braking isn't much, but when they adjust the timing (or whatever), it makes a huge improvement. But still, I know I'll be lucky to get 100k out of the front pads.

I knew that before we bought it and the dealer had it installed ready to go when we picked it up with 3 miles on it. Any 5.9 towing heavy should have one if you have grades to contend with.
