The exhaust brake became factory installed at some point although I don't know just what year. the one on Dodges is so quiet, you won't notice when it's working.  Look to see if you have a big thing with an actuator arm on the rear of your turbo.   The "PAC Brake" Combines the exhaust brake with a valve train brake and empty it will feel like standing on the service brakes. 
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.

Our 2001 Dodge Cummins we use to pull our camper has an aftermarket exhaust brake. Previous owner installed it. Does help quite a bit although we've never pulled in the "mountains" with it. So don't know how well it would react in real steep circumstances. There's quite a bit of under dash and under hood hoses and wires to it. Can get some pictures if you like and send sometime.

I'll get some info to you within the next several days if that's OK. Has been a while since I put pics on this site. Think they changed the format for posting them some time ago but I will try.

We have a Banks brake system on ours. As I said it was installed by the previous owner. Run by toggle switch. Turn on and it automatically does it's thing. Kicks on and off according to the speed you're traveling as the vehicle slows. Also has an electronic transmission lock under the dash that works in conjunction with the brake. This is a nice setup that works great. Sounds like a semi Jake brake when engaged with a much more muffled sound. Having said all that while this is a nice addition to the vehicle unless you're especially wealthy doubt I'd spend the bucks for it. These are well over $1,000 and depending on your model vehicle some are pushing $2,000. Some come with the transmission lock in a kit and some don't. Google Banks brake systems and read all about it. Was going to get some pictures but all that can really be seen is the top of the canister showing above the exhaust system. Hope this helps some.

Doubt you'll want a straight pipe on it for long. Ours has bigger aftermarket exhaust (with a muffler) and still is louder than I prefer. Again put on by previous owner. Dodge folks at the campgrounds smile and think it's great. Chevy and Ford people tend to frown and have negative comments about the noise!
