Transmission Retarder vs Exhaust Brake
What is better, which works best ? A MH I'm considering has the transmission retarder is the reason for my question, I have no experience with either.

I've got a transmission retarder in my Prevost and it works great. I've had 2 position exhaust brakes in the past that we're tough to modulate on a long grade down. Either too much or to little braking. The Prevost has a 6 position retarder and It"s easy to find the right spot. They do incorporate a large tranny cooler. In short I prefer a well designed retarder.
really? never ever heard of a 2 stage exhaust brake? who makes those?
and never seen a exhaust brake in larger MH that has "too much"
usually there actually inadaquit in my opinion
