Are these transmissions are compatible with specific engines only? Because I use Zeemods DD-15 engine and don't see this mod.

If I still have WS 49x, why can't work to me? Since I take that mod and there won't happening.
Maybe not for Day Cab, or something?

@GT128 A lot of modern trucks have a retarder, and it mainly is used to slow the truck while using cruise control. That said, you are also right about the exhaust brake, and it is still standard on most trucks, the reason for the change is to give truckers a non brake heavy way to slow down while in zone that jake brakes are not allowed. Which is most residential, and city areas

Good question ??

Can you make this feature also for 49X, 57X and Freightliner Cascadia 2019?

What ever happened to a Jake Brake being added to the engines like in real life? It uses compression to do it's thing. In all my years of trucking I've never driven a truck with a "retarder", which is added to the transmission or drive-line.
