So I had a discussion with a long time friend who always drives with his engine brake on, 2022 Chev Duramax. I have a 2019 F350 diesel and only use mine while towing or steep down grades. He says there is no extra wear on anything and I think it transfers the wear to things like transmission gears and other parts, eventually causing slop or backlash. So, I guess my question is, is the engine brake "free energy"? I know there are some diesel drivers here who may know better than myself.
