Like several of you, we use it on relatively flat portions (like a lot of I5 in the central valley of California), but take it out of cruise if there are any larger hills or mountains. Our exhaust brake only works if the CC is off.
I love the Ram exhaust brake control, I can set it to just brake or in tow/haul it will down shift the trans then brake, but what I really love is I can hit the button a second time and if I'm on a hill I leave the accelerator alone and when I want the truck to hold a down hill speed I just tap the brake pedal once and the truck will hold that speed. Its not about getting to the top first but getting down the other side safely after that.
