I am actually looking to learn more about this power grade breaking. How it works, how dependable it is? I live in the very high mountains and use manual transmissions to control speed of the truck in poor weather conditions so I can use the break to slow the truck down, or gas to safely speed the truck up according to what local traffic is doing. This is becoming more and more important as more people are moving here and driving in the mountains from places it does not snow. In the past with automatic transmissions I get undesired up shifts. I would mannually force a down shift and the automatic would up shift anyway. If I determine that I can go 50mph, will this power grade breaking allow me to move down hill at 40 to 45 mph so I can use gas and break to react to what traffic is doing? Or if I come accross formation of snow plows will the transmission hold me down to the speed the formation is moving at and do not need to worry of over use of the break and lossing control of the truck from using breaking to control speed instead of using transmission to control speed. Currently Jeep is the only company making a truck with a manual transmission. Jeep conly use a babby plow. I am a hospital worker and a first responder. Only use a plow to make sure I can get to where I need to be, not to make money plowing parking lots. Will this transmission work for me, or will I be asking it to do things it is not really designed for?
