Why Isn't Exhaust Brake on Your Ram 2500 Functioning?
Automakers have never stopped experimenting on different braking techniques. The result of such experimentation is braking solutions like engine braking.
Todays presentation is about exhaust braking an innovative form of engine braking.
RAM 2500 EXHAUST BRAKE IN A NUTSHELL
It works by closing a valve in the engine s exhaust mechanism. Backpressure generated due to this process increases resistance within the engine.
By resisting turning, it slows down the vehicle. In turbocharged diesel engines, it works in a slightly different way.
In this case, it uses the turbochargers wastegate to control the flow of exhaust gases.

Some of the leading reasons why your Ram 2500 s exhaust brake might cease functioning include:
#1- Exhaust brake valve is faulty struggling to regulate exhaust flow #2- Turbocharger is defective or its wastegate is stuck
#3- Electrical or sensor malfunction #4- Actuator responsible for regulating the exhaust brake valve is faulty and not working the way it should
#7- Button used to activate it... is defective #5- Damaged turbocharger actuator #6- Leaks in the exhaust system
#8- Exhaust system is clogged due to soot buildup #9- Issue is with the transmission #10- The engine control module is defective
