As I told you it works fine and I love it, I only use with the DIY exhaust brake and it really works in downhills great, you have peace in your mind, and your breaks would appreciate the use.

i see in your sig that you have 3.55 gears, so in what speed/rpm range do you use it? i was also thinking of doing an exhaust brake to use it with.

I only use it with the exhaust brake and they claim that is usefull in more than 2000 RPM, but I have used it till 1000-1500 RPM still working fine, with no problems, if you let them connected below that RPM the motor will stall. I dont know exactly about the speed range, I just see the RPMs.
