Those Jake brakes are really obnoxious, ought to be totally outlawed in my opinion. They are loud but you have to remember that a diesel, unlike a gasoline engine, does not provide any engine braking when you take your foot off the gas/fuel pedal. Going down a hill a diesel powered truck will just keep accelerating and truckers would be replacing expensive brakes often. |

Those Jake brakes are really obnoxious, ought to be totally outlawed in my opinion. They are loud but you have to remember that a diesel, unlike a gasoline engine, does not provide any engine braking when you take your foot off the gas/fuel pedal. Going down a hill a diesel powered truck will just keep accelerating and truckers would be replacing expensive brakes often. In 'tow/haul' mode, mine will downshift to slow down if I have the cruise control at a slower speed. Also, going downhill and hitting the brakes will cause it to downshift. |

Really? You must not have driven anywhere that has very big hills. When you actually get to a place that has them, trucks are slow going up and scary coming down. We drove up to Morgantown a few weeks ago. Lots of hills, lots of semis, couple of buses, too many badly driven trucks towing campers. Ant hills? Hills with ?escape roads? for runaway trucks. And the trucks do not slow down going up hill? I call bull****. Yes, they slow down. That's why they have truck lanes on many of those hills. The hills around Morgantown, coming in on I-68, are no fun whatsoever. Going up, for me, is no problem. Coming down I keep my speed down to 50mph or less. From the way Harry talks, I'm wondering if he's making up the whole thing. Fat Harry is an I95 kind of guy. He doesn't know there are other more pleasant north south routes I don't find anything "pleasant" about a long drive to Florida, or even Hilton Head. My interest is in getting to my destination as quickly as possible, at, at most, a couple of MPHs over the posted speed limit, just enough to not attract the attention of the local or state mounties. I do take 301 from southern Maryland to Hanover, Virginia, and then cut over to I-95 north of Richmond. Saves me the aggravation of I-95 from Herring's 'hood to Richmond. 301 can be pleasant once you get over the Potomac River bridge. We are all wishing Fat Harry a speedy trip to his final destination. Yes. That's true. |

They are loud but you have to remember that a diesel, unlike a gasoline engine, does not provide any engine braking when you take your foot off the gas/fuel pedal. Going down a hill a diesel powered truck will just keep accelerating and truckers would be replacing expensive brakes often. In 'tow/haul' mode, mine will downshift to slow down if I have the cruise control at a slower speed. Also, going downhill and hitting the brakes will cause it to downshift. I understand but still, a diesel offers no engine braking like a gas engine. |
