What Weight Does An Exhaust Brake Become Beneficial?

[jtwcummins]

My first 2 cars didn't have a/c, but once I had it is not an option anymore. Same for the EB, wouldn't be without one. You can live without it but it is nice coming down the Grapevine or I80 from Reno and not having to touch the brakes unless an idiot cuts you off. That's towing or empty. I use mine on the hiway all the time. In town it stays off most of the time. Yes, someone is likely to tell you your brake lights don't work, just smile and say thanks.

I leave mine on all the time, even in town.

Use mine all the time, empty, towing, in town and highway. Love it. My first front brake job was at 86K miles, can't think the ebrake helped.



The way I look at it, at the end of the hill I still have cool brakes and the confidence to stop if I need to. Something I always worried about with gasers of the past.

NPS... ... ..... That's why I sell the US Gear. That don't happen with their setup.



And y'all don't take WJ so serious. He's just pulling your leg. Surely nobody's as perfect and as he says. He really has a brake on his truck, Just like I do. And he uses it all the time, just like I do. And he'll get 200,000 out of his orginal brake, just like I did. So don't be so hard on im. He's just being a devils advocate. Just trying to get you stired up.

I use mine all the time, towing or not. Would not be without it. Sure you can get by without one, but why?

Yep
