It's hard not to be impressed by the newer crop of diesels.
They had trouble in the past test with the exhaust brake because they had it in full mode, not auto. In auto the truck will downshift itself as needed. It won't do that in full so if you run it in full you need to downshift manually, which they didn't previously do. I've run mine in auto down lots of grades in the western mountains with no issues keeping the speed in check at all. I only use the brakes to slow for corners.
