warrenty/insurance

[Garin1]

I read in another forum that the Dodge has a requirement for thier 3500 hidden in thier warrenty that says if you pull 10000lb or more you must have a exhaust brake installed. Does Ford have anything like that? I will be pulling a fifth wheel rv with a dry wieght of 11480lb.-popcorn

The only brakes for towing that Ford recommends is the normal trailer brakes, and no exhaust brakes. I wish International had a Jake for these motors, but no.

That's kinda acinine if you ask me, if i were dodge i'd let people buy them as another equipment charge...

But they're just stupid

The exhaust brake is not standard equipment. I am not sure Dodge sells an exhaust brake for their trucks. Aftermarket is the only way I know of.

Yeah, it's called tow/haul mode

Actually I love the sound of my truck with that sucker engaged and coming to a stop - heads turn

I love driving through the neighborhood early in the morning just to trick the kids waiting on the school bus. The school board has a fleet of International diesel buses. Our trucks make that diesel sound that is a dead ringer for a school bus on a cold winter morning. Ain't I a stinker?
