A lot of irony here, having a brake issue with your last name being Lafoote!
Mine is a gasser but guessing the same applies to a diesel. Mine is stated to use the lower gears. Mine is simple, use the tow button on the end of the shifter. And if you don't like it running real high rpms when doing it, use the brake firmly to get your speed down pretty quickly and then let the tranny do the constant braking.
Another manual method is to use the same gear going down as you just used going up.
Either way, I have to believe you have worn out your brakes by not using your tranny gears and it has caught up with you.
Good luck
