We have 2022 Thor Aria with a 360XCR Cummins engine with Alison 6 speed transmission on a Freightliner chassis.
When using the exhaust brake the transmission identifiers (D, N, R) the D goes away and is replaced with a 2. Wondering what this means? As far as I know I only have one option for the exhaust brake… Do I have more than that? When the 2 shows up the display still has the identifier for the gear I’m in.
Thoughts? Thank you.

The gear selector is probably showing the gear selected and the actual gear in use for example 6 and 2. 6 indicating D and 2 being the current gear running.

All of this is explained under the appropriate shifters in the Allison Transmission Owners manual. It has nothing to do with the Cummins VGT brake.
