YUP real experience from a 4 speed auto CUMMINS owner. I had my PacBrake stick and it scared the SH!T out of us towing 20k combined with the 98 2500 RAM auto, this was going down Ashland Pass 6% grade. 5-6 k less ain't gonna make a big difference, you will still be riding the brakes. I want my brakes cool when I need them.
