During our last trip to TN and also on our trip to IN in August, I saw a number of signs along the road that said "No unapproved Exhaust Brakes". Now, what is an unapproved "Exhaust Brake"? My Exhaust Brake was installed by Cummins and Freightliner does that mean it is approved?
I agree in an urban area with a 25MPH speed limit I see no need for the exhaust brake. On a 2 lane state or US highway with a 55 or 60MPH speed limit, well that's another issue.
