Ram exhaust brake at slow speeds.
This issue was brought up in another tread and I didn't want to hijack it so.. On our first trip out with the new TV we went to the NC mountains...of course :B. Going up the 6-7 % grade was awesome...

X2!!
If it was on at 3,000rpm engine should have almost stopped you with a max of 10,000# in tow.

I run mine on the first push of the button. Second push of the button lets the exhaust brake activate when the brake pedal is pushed. I then also manually shift to lower gears on the shifter handle. It should have been roaring as in BAAAAWWAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I was braking to avoid redline. It wasn't holding it.
Either you were going off a cliff, or you didn't have the EB engaged correctly.
Was the engine making the "BAAAAWWAAAAAAAAAAAAA" sound???
