there is no jake brake for heui style engines. all you can get is an exhaust brake, that will make a "shhhhhhhhh" sound rather than a "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR". the exhaust brake will put you through the windshield (works great) but if you want it for cool loud noise - no game!
powerwashing anything is technically bad for it to an extent, and everybody has their experiences and opinions. i powerwash all my stuff, with 3600 psi of boiling hot chemically enhanced goodness and it works great! i have had a few issues here and there, but those were mostly on gassers and the issue was with the spark plug wires/cap/rotor. on my 7.3 the WIF light will come on if i blast around the fuel bowl with the key on, but there is never actually water in the fuel when i drain it so i think its water changing the resistance in the harness connector. im not supposed to powerwash my quad either, but its gets a serious pressure blast after every moto! the biggest thing to keep in mind is dont bury the pressure nozzle inches away from electrical connections, or things like the fuel bowl cap where there isnt much pressure on the rubber oring to seal out extreme pressure. i keep it at least a foot away from things like that and havent had any major issues yet. i powerwash it every time i change the oil, or do any other work on it.
i think the dealer would be hard pressed to prove that you powerwashing your engine bay would be the cause of any warranty type failure. water gets into places such as failed connectors (or IDMS
), without the help of a powerwasher.
back to the engine brake.....do you want it because the 6.0 is a slob on fuel? the engine brake wont help your mileage. also on a side note....can the 6.0 egr system handle high exhaust pressures from a brake, or does it cause faults/CEL ?

It may all ready be time to find a new dealer to work on your truck.
I was at a dealer yesterday and told him about this site and he
thought it was cool that I wanted to know more about my truck.
He said it made his job a lot easier if I knew what I was talking about
when telling him about my truck.
Why do you need more braking on your truck, I think the Tow-Haul
works very well on my truck when pulling the RV.

Im coming out of a 250 . It just seems in an emergency situation the dam thing is too heavy lite weight, let alone LOADED ( which I have a respect for weight ), for it's disco brakes ONLY. I'D love an exaust brake with a HI _ LO feature. Kidding bout the pressure washing and dealer comment.

thats what the pump is rated at, i im not actually running it that high, but i could should i feel the need i found that when it comes to blasting mud off, the high pressure does an equal cleaning job with less water usage than say a 1200psi unit. this is important when we are running off the potable water tank on the rv.
on a side note...i learned for the first time last year (and a few times after that) the best way to clean the race machine is to take the holeshot, and stay in first. you go through less tear offs as well! im going to attempt to continue this trend for this season.
