Probably not a good idea. There are a number of mid range diesels where they recomend heavily against usage of an exhaust brake. THey build up a lot of back pressure and can end up floating the valves, leading to contact with the pistons in extreme cases. Some are getting around it with heavier valve springs, but even then teh jury is still out I seriously doubt the valve springs in a d24 would be up to the job.
