Even though the shift pad shows a '2', that may not be the actual gear at the moment (it is the target gear, but not actual). At 60 mph you are still in 6th gear and no exhaust brake has much effect, but give it some help with the brake pedal (service brakes) to get speed down and the tranny will start downshifting toward 2 and you will feel more & more retarding as the gears drop.
