TH and EB on ALL the time! Try the "Auto" mode solo. I run full on ALL the time. You will never wear out the brakes.
I have not towed with mine yet, but soon, very soon. I try to turn on the EB all the time, which does save on brakes, but on my 2015 Ram it stops working when it slows to 50 mph! Whereas in my 2011 Chevy it would stay on till about 30 mph. I am curious how it works towing.
Put the TH on ALL the time. Your EB should stay on down to around 1,100 rpm's.
So as stated by Arcamper previously, EB is determined by engine rpm, not speed? Good to know!
Not just RPM. It is also determined by deceleration. The truck will adjust how much EB it uses by the mode you are in and how fast the truck is decelerating. If you are going up a slight grade the brake won't work as hard as it will going down a slight grade. The computer has a max that it will slow the truck down. You can turn your gauge cluster on to have the EB hp shown. You can watch the computer do it's thing. I have seen 150hp out of mine but when running around light it won't go no where near that high.;)
