    Exhaust Brake all the time?

    My 2015 3500 is fully stock.

    I've been reading about the benefits of running the exhaust brake all the time.

    Is this what most people do?

    If using a tuner, is it fine to continue using the exhaust brake full time?

    Yup... tuner or not, use it anyway

    Helps keep them extra unnecessary moving parts in the turbo from gunkin up and stickin.

    I run mine all the time, full brake.

    It helps saves brake pads/rotors, especially if you're not a tailgater.

    I play games and try to figure out how far out I need to let off the go fast pedal to just about stop at a stop sign with just the exhaust brake.

    Do you guys use the tow/haul mode too in conjunction with the exhaust brake or only use that when actually towing? Seems like the tow/haul mode only affects shifting and is meant more to protect the transmission.

    Running it all the time is perfectly fine.

    Use it all the time on full.

    Saves your brakes.
