I've been going through manuals on and off line and cannot for the life of me find anything regarding the Retarder switch on my truck. From a Google search I'm gathering that its a transmission "breaking" system for steep, slow, down hill decent. Am I correct in my recent findings? Also, is there any other use for it and what should I not use the Retarder for?
The other part of this question is regarding when the Retarder rocker switch is pushed to the 12 o'clock vs. 6 o'clock. On my gauge cluster a light comes on that says Exhaust Brake. But only shows on the cluster when the air brake is engaged. But when air brake is disengaged the light goes off? Can anyone explain whats going on here? To the best of my knowledge, my truck does NOT have an Exhaust brake. Any help on these matters is much appreciated.
