[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16689487, member: 116684"] While I certainly bought mine because of my experience with Chrysler automatics, the ISB/B series probably is one of the most prolific with manual transmissions around the world. Between that and having an in house transmission from the Daimler days, it was a piece of cake for them to offer. (Although ironically the majority of them sold in North America are Allison 2000/3000 series.) That thing has got to be absolutely screaming at 3500 RPM. Exhaust brake is standard with the diesel. It was one of the big selling points when I first test drove one. I was descending a steep grade and actually losing speed. The factory brake is an exhaust restriction brake using the VGT. It's very effective (and very loud, especially with deleted exhaust. Mine sounds like a jet on warmup and braking. Not great for befriending neighbors.) But there is also a compression release brake available for them aftermarket. I've never used it on a B-series myself. I've only seen some of the guys pushing their fifth wheels to the absolute limits use them, but they seem to like them. [/QUOTE]
