my 12 uses the transmission to help brake, not sure why they would take that feature away even on a diesel
in the 12; transmission braking is the holding of a gear based on the driver inputs

I don't believe that feature was removed in the powertrain of the baby diesel

The exhaust brake on the 3.0 requires you to be a bit more aggressive wit hthe brake pedal than the 6.6. The 6.6 I barely apply the brakes and the exhaust brake kicks in and slows you down. the 3.0, I have to be a bit more aggressive on the braking to get it working.

I've found sometimes our Tahoe does and sometimes it doesn't, so I just do the manual gear limit when I want engine braking.
