I was wondering the same thing, it’s like the EB just gets shut off. Seems like it would be tough on some part of the drivetrain. Also if it just shutoff what’s holding the truck back from accelerating if not the brakes?
I find it interesting that neither of them point out how cool that brake hp indication is.
Engine braking at 3,500 rpm is what is trying to hold the truck back when it is off. It cannot with engine braking alone so it starts to gain speed past 35 mph and then the exhaust brake kicks back on to slow it back down to 35 mph then cuts off again. As you can see at of the video 5:56 of the video. Exhaust brake is off, it starts to get to 37 mph and then it kicks back on to slow it down to 35 again.
