Michael, exactly what does the retarder do and when and "why" would I use it? We have no hills in Alabama and I've never had any problems slowing down when on the road. Is it like a brake helper? In other words if needing to stop in a hurry, would you press the brake and the retarder at the same time?
I'm glad I have it but I'm not sure I understand the need for it.
