There are "Engine brakes" and "Exhaust brakes". The "Engine brakes" Cut off the fuel, and open the exhaust valves as if they were compression brakes. that is what you see on Most big rigs (at least out here on the west coast). The "Exhaust brakes" restrict the exhaust to cause braking effect. Im my limited exposure to the Exhaust brakes, I saw many instances of the exhaust pressure blowing out the gaskets. Thus loosing the effect, and gaining that wonderful exhaust leak noise. As for use in pickups, I have no experience. I would however lean in the direction of the "Engine Brake" if it were available for my engine, and I could fit it into my budget. This gained from my Big Rig experience, both in the shop (16 years) and my driving time ( 15 years) Tim in OR
