phil, i agree fully. I just use the engine at high speeds, like exiting the turnpike and having to slow for a off ramp . I shift from overdrive down to drive. Or pulling the camper I down shift on desecnts. Probably blow the thing up , but its just habit to for me to use the engine before brake . </div></BLOCKQUOTE>x2
I go to "3" twice almost daily (a hill is between home and work). So far no prob on engine, and had to replace break pads only once in 37K. The "3" will slow me down below 60 without brakes.
Phil, on a "regular" H2, the "1" setting does a LOT in stopping you on the way down very steep inclines. I use them all the time in Moab, especially after watching that freefall Jeep (

) off Lion's Back.
