is running exhaust brake all the time ok?
In my new F350 with the 6.7 I like to run the exhaust brake even when not towing. I find it helps in stop and go traffic and requires me to use less brakes. But is it OK to run it all the time? I mean...

I ran mine at all times for 3-4 months then noticed that my fuel economy went down around 2.5 mpg. Now it's only on when towing for going down a mountain.
Seems highly unlikely (edit, impossible) unless you literally let it slow you down way too much going downhill and then have to throttle downhill, all the time...
Or have t set to something like "full" mode on a Ram where it kicks in everytime you let off the accelerator and you're not observant enough to drive around that function by keeping your foot on the go pedal a smidge, nor able to anticipate it's behavior and have to speed up every time to make it all the way to the stop sign!
