I had a 2008 GMC Dually and put a B&D electronic variable vein brake on. It was the best thing I did to that truck. Going down 8 - 10 % grades if I would set the speed at 25 mph it would not go past 27 mph. I traded it in on a 2015 dually chevy, and the exhaust break is piece of junk inless I do not know how to work it because it always goes 7-8 mph faster than I want I hate it.
Try manually selecting the same gear you came up on a similar grade. Example I select 4th set cruise 55-60 on 6% grades and it holds most really well. At times it will hit a steeper section and speed up a bit so I will touch the brakes for a couple seconds to return to desired speed and then set cruise again. This method really works great.
I have 4:10's and a combined weight of 32K+.
We agree :B
WOO HOO :B
