    2008 Dodge 6.7 Cummins Engine Brake Whine

    No not turbo noise.It squeals even at idle when I hit button to turn on brake.Then squeals when slowing down and brake engages.It never used to make noise so I am starting to think I have a leak somewhere.Also I see some guys remove the valve and put in a delete kit.
