One question I do have for the Bank's people is this: What impact if any will the installation of the Banks exhaust brake for the 6.4 have on the standard engine/drivetrain warranty and/or extended warranty?
I am very pleased that this undertaking is nearing release.

The new braking system does NOTHING differently than what your truck is already capable of. Your turbine blades already open and close, you can manually shift your transmission up or down at will, and your torque converter (obviously) will lock and unlock when commanded. We're simply making all of these functions work together to slow the truck down. So, the short version, it will do NOTHING to your warranty at all. Unless of course you have a dealer who's looking for an excuse to get money out of your wallet. If you do, just unplug the brake before you go in. You can see the install on the Chevy version here:

On the Ford it's a grand total of 4 plugs to install it (no welding, no wire splicing). If you already have the six gun/pda system you can use the same PDA for both.
