F350, F450, and F550 & braking power

Ridge Runner: Sea Wolf (hubby) and I totally agree with your comments. Hubby used to drive logging trucks and hay trucks and knows plenty about using brakes and losing brakes ... he has many nightmarish stories to tell of those days. Our present F350 has been retroftted with a super chip that increased our hp and mpg greatly. We also added an exhaust brake that is extremely effective. Even if we bought a F550, if it did not have those 2 add-ons, we would install them. "More is better".
