2006 Dodge Diesel Pickup with Mopar Exhaust Brake

[creedmty]

I'm sorry I didn't hear well at the end of the video so, you said that with the mopar exhaust brake people will think you don't have a exhaust brake right?? because the noise may sound close to like jake brake?? thank's in advance.!!

thank you so much for that info. that will save me alot of cash. there is a local cummins dealer about 100 yards from my job.

@evans3390 glad to help I learn a lot from DTR forums and Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum... lot of really smart folks on the boards to help out..

i have a 05 cummins 6spd. with the same exhaust brake. but just the other day my vacume pump took a dump and the dealer wants to charge me $1000 just for that part. its stupid because i could buy a better one for about $300 more. do you know if jacob or mopar has warrantes on them?

[troll3193]

@evans3390 @evans3390 i believe the warranty is only 3/36 so probably not relevant. You can get the pump direct from Cummins, look in the phone book for the local Cummins shop around you. Part number should be "Cummins 3965925" I had to replace mine last year, got the part from Cummins for about $210.

@evans3390 Also there is this site you might check out. fixinrams

They have a rebuild kit for the pump. I haven't tried it or know anyone that has, but I have it bookmarked for down the road.

@AaronDittmer I am pulling the trailer to a campground this weekend, will try to get some times on stopping with it...

[AaronDittmer]

oh cool how fast does it slow you down like when you have a trailer on i was looking in to buying one for my f350 i tow a trailer with my 5ton skid steer on the back alot and as you prob know it dont like to stop lol

[troll3193]

@AaronDittmer  so haven't done the timing, but I tow a 9500lb travel trailer. typically run between 60-65mph on freeway... when I want to get off an exit, I take my foot off the accelerator and by the time I am near the stop sign I am at 20mph without touching the brakes... sometimes if the ramp is shorter I pull down to 2nd to make it brake faster...

How much does the mopar exhaust brake cost? I have an 06 cummins as well and I'm thinking about putting one in to help me when I tow my boat

[troll3193]

@montanacat67 I worked mine into the deal, think you can typically buy the kit for about $1100-1300. I had the dealer install mine, but it is something you could do yourself too..

Mopar part number for 06 is 822009823

[AaronDittmer]

i didnt hear any thing

[troll3193]

@AaronDittmer Aaron, that was kind of the point, really doesn't make much noise, but a guy on a Cummins forum wanted to hear one in use.
