Ok fellas, help me out here.
The ¾ ton Silverado 6.0L Vortec gas engine comes with a “6-speed automatic heavy-duty transmission…Electronically controlled Tow/Haul mode and Automatic Grade Braking”.
The ¾ ton Silverado 6.6L Duramax comes with the “Allison 1000 6-speed automatic transmission ….(with) Automatic Grade Braking”.
First of all, is this “Grade Braking” the same thing? Do they both work the same way? Is this the same feature on two different transmissions?
Second, where does the “Smart Exhaust Brake” come into play (I know it’s on the diesel)? I’m assuming this works in in conjunction with the Allison transmission, but is different than the “Grade Braking” feature?
