Yes I do have the 6 speed. exhaust brake is set at 2 gear, I have been told to change to 4 gear by people with MDT's for a lot of years. And also told I then could down shif to 3 or 2 gear for exhaust braking. But I do like the 2 gear works for well in city traffic and slow speed on freeway's.
And it does work very well on 4 to 6% grades when I slow down to 45 to 50 the brake will start in 4th then down to 3 and hold speed at 45 all the way down. On city streets below 50 when I let off the pedal 4th 3d 2d and 1st. then we are at a 5 to 9 mph.
I vote of using 2 gear for the exhaust brake progam.
