Which exhaust brake would you recommend
I have a 2005 Dodge 2500 CTD with automatic transmission. I would like to add an exhaust brake soon. Which brand would you recommend and why? Thanks.

I spoke with Banks about adding one to my 5.9 24v and almost choked on the price. What does the PacBrake cost for a 47re? TIA.
Not cheap, sure didn't buy to save on the cost of brake jobs!!
The cost for my 01 2500 with NV4500 5 speed was about $1,400, worth every cent of the cost, I know the auto will be about $300 more.
The big plus and part of the cost is a 12V 150 psi on-board air compressor. This added the second safety accessory, a set of Kline air horns. These are something i use with care, but far better than the weak a** shock horn on the 01 Ram!!
Are you saying your PacBrake requires an air compressor? My Pac on my last 98 used vacuum.
Yes, Gen 2 24 Valve, part of the install kit, 12 Volt 150 psi air compressor, lines and fittings for air hose connections for as mentioned inflating stuff.
The other big plus is a set of Kline Air Horns, the Ram standard horn sounded like a dinky little car. Now when needed it speaks with authority!
