O I C
Good and Bad I suppose.
You have any experience with exhaust brake unit Mike?
Was planning to remove mine before AOAA but I bought a Ranger instead.
Seems like I can just disassemble clean lube and reinstall

Shocking.



I had a Banks Brake on the Dumpbus. Never loobed it. No issues. Was used and I resold it.

But used often is Prob the difference.
An 2005 RV that had 13k on the odometer in 2013 was definitely a candidate for some LUBE.

I just discovered last weekend there is one that's on 24/7 at the sour kraut factory.  Me, chase, bike, bike trailer = 240.

im still getting back use to towing with a 6 speed, some of the hills killed me and were user error.  havent had a clutch in 2 years haha. 

its pretty good.  i was hopping for more power, but its 20mph faster on big hills than the 4300, and holds medium hills with cruse at 67 fine.   

dissapointed half a tank of DEF only lasted 1300 miles. 

we figured 29k lbs and 8 mpg this weekend

looks like 8-900$ for a plug in non detectable tuner, no effect on re gen cycles / warranty
