Any TC's on 2006 Dodge CDI. looking at exhaust brake

I have a Pacbrake PRXB on my 06 RAM. On the 06 it fully integrates with the ECM to control TC lockup and Tow/Haul. Works really well.

I have the one that replaces the cast iron elbow attached to the turbo outlet.

I've only used the Pac Brake but it seems to work great and has held up well for 12 years of use. We like to camp on the other side of the state so it see's a lot of mountain pass use. Don't even have to touch the service brakes!
I installed it myself and it was easy. The exhaust elbow fit perfectly - a quality part.

I prefer the Pac or any other aftermarket brand over the Jake because of the issues with the Jakes vacuum pump failing. When it does, it can take out the belt and even damage the radiator some times.
If the other brands fail you just lose the EB and nothing else.
If you do go with the Jake, keep the standard belt with you just in case.
You DO NOT need to make any changes to the vehicle for EB use.
No matter how you go, you'll kick yourself for not getting one sooner!!

BTW, your trans and TC are completely up to using a EB. Even the computer was upgraded for it. The auto trans was certified for EB starting with model year 2006 and even kept it's warranty when one was added.
You do NOT need to make any changes to the truck at all.

I am not familiar with the Dodge automatic transmissions newer than the 2002, but unless the torque converters and valve bodies have been changed the exhaust brake will not work in the automatic. I has to have the ability to lock the torque converter, which can be done but is very spendy and requires transmission modifications. As I stated, they may have changed the newer truck. I have a custom trans mission in my '96 that allows me to use an exhaust brake.

Been a really long time since this was asked. But Pacbrake as I remember has had positive reviews over the years.
