New RAM I honestly don't know what the brakes do but on my 2015 they do not come on.
I can't set mine to 35 and expect it to stay at 35 it simply is not going to happen with the trucks programming. I have to set it to say 30 and adjust up and down as needed depending on what the actual grade is to stay at 35.
It sounds like the 2020 is like my Ford (uses wheel and trailer brakes as needed) where as yours is the older technology. The Cummins has an extremely capable exhaust brake. I find the exhaust brake on my Ford to be very impressive but based on how the Ram guys talk about theirs I believe the Cummins is even more impressive.
I am still wondering why your truck holds back more going down a steep grade using cruise than it does with only the exhaust brake switched on?
