Does it create heat or wear? My after market EB on my old 05 didn't work nearly as smoothly as the new one with the 6 speed.
Your salesman is an uninformed idiot!
Run the EB and TH at all times!
Turbo will like it and the exhaust brake really does not work without the TH on.
TH will keep the line pressures up in the transmission and keep the truck in the proper gear for the speed. Also your brakes will last well over 100K using EB and TH all the time.
Only positives to run both all the time!
