So I read the 2020 Ram 3500 owners manual regarding EB and Cruise. It states that max EB is only available in Auto mode.
I wonder what that means? Is it because auto mode can utilize the wheel brakes if need be or does "EB On" not generate full back pressure? How does cruise work? Do you have the choice of either selecting auto EB or full on EB while using cruise?
Trouble with RAM "auto" EB is the truck overruns the set cruise control speed by 4-5 MPH before the EB kicks in. If it was 1 or 2 I would use auto, but I am a Full EB guy and regulate speed with the throttle pedal.
I would never want an EB that also applies the service brakes without my knowledge.
I guess we all run it different , came off the hill into Bullhead City, Az , it’s a long grade . Set the cruise at 45 , I use FULL EB , it does the same overrun 4-5 . Never touched the brakes the entire hill ran 50 all the way , until towards the bottom when the speed limit changed . Never have used Auto , I guess it will overrun 4-5 also .Full works great for me . I see no need to use the throttle on that hill pretty straight shot , no curves that 50 was too fast . No different to me then using cruise on the flat .
