I run my exhaust brake at all times in my 2018 Ram tradesman 6.7L. My mechanic told me that running it is good for the turbo.
@Brandon_Nelson922 жыл бұрын
This is true. The newer turbos (vgt) have variable vanes that move to alter the effective internal size of the turbo. Using the exhaust brake exercises the vanes and keeps them moving freely. Carbon buildup will eventually make them stick if you baby the engine too long. 6.0 powerstrokes were notorious for it.

Essentially engine is an air pump. Restrict the discharge side of the air pump is the same thing as our exhaust brake. It will not create heat as there is no fuel being injected during the process. Fuel is what creates heat. Not using the exhaust brake is hurting you more than helping 100%. When the soot build up get bad enough the veins will stick. Paul is right on the money. If you have an turbo actuated exhaust brake use it every time that engine is running. Period. Thanks for the vid Paul. BTW I like my 21 HO/Aisin mega. Wouldn't change a thing.

Hey Paul I’m a diesel mechanic by trade and I was told the same from a few customers that were concerned about it. I think the rumor came around from people cold starting their trucks and using the exhaust brake to warm their trucks up faster causing more back pressure therefore causing premature blow by. I have no evidence of that but I have seen a few maintained 6.7’s come through the shop with blow by under 200k miles. May be true may not, Just my 2 cents

The VGT system is nice as a brake supplement. But on the power side, the VGT reduces boost at low load. The emissions tune assumes various factors when not loaded. And cruising at a moderate speed like 50mph on flat terrain. Can fool the PCM. Our 2018 Ram 2500 got a code for the NOX sensor failure. I run 5w40 Rotella synthetic year round. Which at moderate speeds and light loads. Helps the engine run with less throttle, and no boost. When the dealer tech troubleshooted the engine. Everything was fine. The exhaust and emissions system was clean. With the PCM hooked up to the factory. The computer determined a refresh of the PCM was needed. Now the engine runs 2psi of boost at 50mph on flat terrain. When before the boost was zero. Also the timing seems slightly retarded in all conditions. Engine runs smoother and quieter. The instant mpg readout seems 2mpg better. The beauty of the VGT system and the electronic controls. Even the factory will provide custom tuning for improvements in performance!

I live in northern Michigan and we get a lot of winter weather there's still a couple of feet of snow in the back yard I've always been careful using Jake brakes on slippery roads I'm sure exhaust brakes on slippery roads could be bad news too I've tried it on a steep hill it slowed the truck down the truck is so quiet in the cab I really couldn't hear it it didn't bark like the 425 cat's did I guess with that being said my concern I guess if they stick on could I know it?

So a couple of videos ago you talked about all the parts you replaced on your RAM fleet regularly. . Could you show where the intercoolers leaks and explain how to check or figure out they are leaking? Just had the same radiator problem on my 2014 where it was leaking along the plastic sides and the radiator tubes. Replaced it with a Mishimoto radiator. Maybe you could also list things that you have to change and approximate mileage range they fail or wear out. Love your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

The exhaust brake only works when the torque converter is locked up. The torque converter is locked up more in T/H mode. Try shifting your transmission manually to see if that helps. The exhaust brake only works about ~1200 RPM also so more RPM = better EB performance.

I know very little about diesels and such so this is a genuine question. Does the exhaust brake affect fuel efficiency because it's slowing you down faster than normal? I am talking about flat roads and unloaded when one might not want to have it on if it did.
@peterdang94752 жыл бұрын
The exhaust brake should not really affect fuel efficiency . Watch at 6:40 Paul explains when the exhaust brake is in auto mode the exhaust brake will engage when needed to keep you at a certain speed when coasting and not let you accelerate past that speed while going down a hill. If you want to slow down more you can tap your brake pedal and the exhaust brake will engage and work to slow you. If you continuous hold down the brake pedal the exhaust brake and service brakes (disk brakes) will both be working to slow you down.

Keeping a light foot on the accelerator keeps the exhaust brake off, so it is effectively like coasting without an exhaust brake, or coasting without any drag.
