Another reason for a good exhaust brake! Nice cool service brakes. Jim imagine having warm to hot service brakes and loosing one's trailer brakes! Chris
OUCH!!! The EB makes a really big difference, as does the T/H mode, as I was braking, the EB was aggressively slowing me down and tranny was downshifting....when I got out of the truck, I could "just smell" the brakes a little...not much, but again, I was only doing around 55 mph when I looked and saw the message, "trailer disconnected"......Good to have equipment that can help handle that situation.
