Re: [RC] Trailering with automatic transmission - Truman PrevattThat's why exhaust brakes were invented. With a Diesel compression braking doesn't work all that well independent on transmission type.Truman Carla Richardson wrote: It doesn't work lots of places. If it's steep enough, and long enough, you WILL end up going too fast, or putting too much strain on your engine, with most automatics -- even in 4WD (which helps to slow you), and in the lowest setting "1" ... and yes, I know the newer automatics work better, but I still prefer a standard. More control. -- "The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels.
