Diesel Exhaust Brake
Hey All, Looking at stepping up to a new truck and a diesel for the first time. I am looking for guidance on exhaust brakes and any differences between GM, Ford and Dodge? Thanks in advance!

The ex brake is the same in all of them.
It is part of the turbo and should be used continuously to keep it from sticking.
well, no an exhaust brake is usually installed seperate from the turbo. every one I've seen is downstream of the turbo. yes, the turbo can vary the vains to provide some additional restriction, but an exhaust brake is completely differnent.
And I've never heard it should be used continously to avoid sticking.
and no, it is NOT the same on all three mfg. similar performance, yes, but the same absolutely NOT.
You need to do a little research on turbo's and exhaust brakes.
