Just got a new pickup with exhaust brake on it,I was told that some people keep it on all the time,What's the reason for that?Thanks

A little more info, like what brand????

On new trucks it moves the impellers on the turbo to create the back pressure. If you don't use it often enough they get clogged up with carbon and eventually stick.

Just personal preference... Helps to slow down an 8k lb pig with much less braking effort.

All of the trucks you have to enable it each time you cycle the ignition which for me is to much to think about each time I hop in the truck. If it stayed on across ignition cycles I would probably use it more often.
