Turbo cleaners?

If soot is getting on the EXHAUST vanes (which is where it will build up, NOT on the intake side), anything that might effectively remove said soot would likely get burned up in the combustion stroke of the engine, so spraying it in through the intake does absolutely nothing.

Only way this can be is if you've used Forscan to permanently enable the exhaust brake. Mine will stay on if I am only out of it for a short period of time (less than half an hour), otherwise it defaults to off and I have to press the button twice for automatic exhaust braking.

Auto braking, yes. Auto EXHAUST braking, I'm not so sure about. Maybe.

I can hear it and feel it. Especially when the bozo in front slows down to 45 in a 55 because of ghosts.

I ask because it has been said the reason for it not staying on is for safety in low traction situations with light to no payload.
It would be interesting to know if this is no longer the case.

The thing about not having it on during slippery conditions is just the exhaust brake, and it would have to be something like black ice to be slippery enough for the exhaust brake to cause any issues.
As far as I do, I keep my foot on the throttle, and just very light pressure on the throttle will keep the exhaust brake from engaging.

It is possible for the engine to run on the unregulated fuel source being introduced and nasty things can happen.

You guys are talking about two separate systems, adaptive cruise will apply the service brakes if needed to keep the following distance, and would engage the exhaust brake if in auto mode and the truck was not slowing quickly enough.

That is my understanding of how it works, I was just wanting conformation on the post that seems to be saying the exhaust brake doesn't have to be on for it to be activated by other systems like traction control, adaptive crusie and other devices installed on the vehicle. Just looking for clarification and experience, I could be reading it wrong too.

Again that is my understanding, however acdii seems to be saying otherwise I'd like him to clarify his experience.

OP,
Archoil fuel additive claims to clean soot off the turbo by using some additive that survives combustion and with heat can clean the turbo.
Good luck...
