Great information! However, guess I will not know until I take it to the Cummins shop. The product detail sheet that came with the Coach, shows it being a "Exhaust Brake" The label on the switch says Exhaust Brake. Up is off and there are two positions down. It would be hard for me to believe that the previous owner would install something like this, based on the other things that where never done. Headed for Reno (out of San Jose) next week which results in a steep decline (7%) and I don't know any way to test this, will be using whatever it is going downhill. I look forwarded to the day, when I can chat face to face with people on this Forum, so much basic information that I could use. Thanks

Wally,

What you have is an engine compression brake rather than an exhaust brake. The switch on my '04 Allure also said "exhaust brake" but was wrong.
Your switch, if like mine, is off in the middle. Rocker up forward is high (6 cylinders). Rocker back down is low(3 Cylinders).

Well I think we have this figured out and will test it next week. Chatted with Steve, George and Gary responded (thank you!) I checked the rocker switch and it appears the front was up, we think that was the setting when we picked up the coach. We believe that all these post have solved our problem's.
