Engine Brake and Cruise control

[Stenleh44]

Recently when using cruise control and i turn on engine brake the brake has no affect. Truck doesn’t slow down, but i hear the click.

I recently switched my key bindings….I use left paddle shifter for engine brake toggle, and the the d pad on wheel to control engine brake strength.

Previously i just used dpad on the wheel to turn on engine brake.

It seems like since turning on the toggle changed how Engine brake works with cruise control.

Anyone else have this issue? Any way to fix?

Thanks all!

If you set your Engine Break or Retarder to manual, Cruise Control will not engage or will deactivate if you are using them. To enable CC you must decrease them until OFF.

Alternative, set them to Automatic, then you can enable CC whenever you want.

exactly my retarder and engine brake are auto. and no problems

Ive never had issues using the engine brake while cruise control was engaged. It would normally just disengage cruise control.

Only started to do this when i changed to using the toggle as opposed to the other manual setup by just increasing engine brake strength. I will mess around and see if i can get it the way it was working.

Thanks

Correct, Toggle option is the one that interfere with CC, I set in my G29 dial, the other option, switch or what ever is called will not

Toggle have 4 positions each time you press, OFF, 1, 2 and 3. Backwards when decreasing.

Switch is ON/OFF

I have never had an issue using the engine brake toggle. This is how it was back when I was driving. On or off and stages 1, 2 or 3.

For me I make sure the engine brake toggle is on, engage cruise control and set my overspeed for 3mph over set speed and jakes comes on automatically. I never ever use a truck with a transmission retarder.

All other jake brake key assignments for me are unassigned/unchecked. I will not use automatic engine braking.
