[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1129369, member: 9096"] Whenever the engine is running there's going to be wear and tear on it, so lets leave that part of it out, an engine retarder brake is, from my knowledge, a brake that works by making the engine try to run backward, and engine compressor brake plugs the exhaust, and doesn't use fuel to do it. I think the engine retarder brakes are more powerful, but I could see them being harder on the engine by having far higher peak cylinder pressures... on a compression brake, your peak pressures won't be much higher than your cranking compression. Was your truck a 4x4? would it work on a 4x4? did the Brownie go before or after the transfer case if it was? I am a bit confused, you're saying Allison and NV4500... which one? [/QUOTE]
