A new problem for this group to ponder
Nope, we do not have any supplemental braking systems or any other modifications. Yes, if I apply the brakes in Allison "N" I still get the same response of revving to 1000 rpm's. I'm going to take Ralph's suggestion and diagram this weekend to try and solve the problem. Once I've gotten to it, I'll give the group an update on resolution.

Thanks again for all of the help!

Do you have an
M&G toad suplemental braking system? Or any mods of
the sort?
I wonder what signals the cruise to kick off when the brakes are
applied?
I wonder if it has somthing to do with 'fast idle' and brake light
signal kicking in a false fast idle?

If you apply the brakes while in Allison "N" can you get the 1000R
responce?

What a blast!

also had the retarder switch on (but not using). I came to a stop at
an intersection and when I
applied the brakes my engine revved to
1000 RPM's (above the typical 550 RPM's when stopping & off the
accelerator). I took my foot off the brake, engine kicks down back
to 550 rpm's (normal). I applied the brake again, engine kicked back
up to 1000 rpm's. Very very strange. I had this happen a few times,
one time getting up to 1500 RPM's when trying to stop the coach
which was a chore and very scary to think the coach wouldn't stop. I
put the coach in neutral when applying the brake, didn't stop the
high RPM's while having the coach brake applied. After being back
underway, before the next stop, I switched the cruise to off and the
retarder to off. Coming to my next stop the coach braked normally
until I got home. Yesterday, I went to move the coach, and it did
the exact same thing with cruise and retarder off.

in reverse,
drive or neutral. This is probably not an easy fix, but
would appreciate any collective direction or thoughts on the matter.
