The Jake Brake On/Off switch for automatic is uuuggglllyyyy. :--) It would be nice if they built it as a push button on the dash or something.

Never had an Exhaust Brake. Does it really make a difference?

I can assure you that "I" wouldn't tow without one, and wouldn't have another truck without one. I Love it Oo.

The question of the need for an exhaust brake came up on rv.net. It was interesting to heard all the Chevy D/A owners who claimed that they did not need an exhaust brake because of the way the Allison transmission worked. I tried to explain that a transmission cannot make up for the lack of engine braking with a diesel engine, but I think it fell on deaf ears.

yeah, the deaf leading the blind, literally.

What's up with not backporting it to the earlier years? What's different? New Computer or something? If so, did they do anyting with the transmission shift logic?
