I too have a Jake Exhaust Brake. Its the best option I have ever put on my truck. The Jake when used with Cruise Control on will hold you at a given speed when going down hill. I use mine all the time even when running without a trailer. It saves the service brakes. Mine was installed as part of the purchase of my 03 Ram. Cost was $1495 installed by the dealer.
Pac Brake also makes a nice exhaust brake. Keep your eye on ebay and wrecking yards for good deals
