I only go as low as 3rd gear for engine breaking. I drive a 01 Ram van for work and I use engine breaking a lot because I live around the coast. I can tell you after doing that for the last few years, the tranny is starting to act up ie; not holding shift or having really rough transition between shift point. I also been told by the service tech that the tranny oil is turning very dark.
My advice, brake pads are cheap, a tranny rebuilt can pay for a lot of it.
Just my 2cents worth.

Dark tranny oil is the first sign of a tranny problem. First thing to do is get the tranny oil and filter changed. You might find that this helps in solving your transmission problem. The service tech should have recommended this.
