Truck with no engine break HELP.

What? Lemon law? You do know engine brake is an option right? You don't need it, but it does help a lot. Trying the stabbing brake technique. Don't over heat them and just be careful.

If the old generation could do it without engine brake, u can too

 

Hate to say it but you're stuck with it. While the salesperson should know what they're selling, you should have tried it to see if it worked.

 

Lemon law on a used truck? Why didn't you just flip on what the sales lady said was the engine brake and see if it worked when you test drove the truck?

 

Wow.

Just wow.

 

Wait..... What?

you got what you paid for

 

What she showed you was the switch to manually turn on the engine fan. This is what the international symbol is for an engine brake, if the rockers dont actually say "Engine Brake".
You see the picture of an engine inside of the "drum brake" with the "shoes" on the outside:



This is what a typical three position engine brake tends to look like be it a real Jake Brake or
the quieter noise limiting engine brakes, some use two rockers, not flip switches like these:



Yeah, I dont know what the hell she was talking about with the trailer brakes, unless she meant
the lever mounted trailer brake located on the steering column or on the dash. She sounds like a real shady lady to me.

Personally, I think she took you for a ride, and not a good one, driver. You will have to drive slower on down grades in a lower gear and stab brake the rig, looking for, or smelling for brakes heating up. Best to pull over and let them cool down. You could add an engine brake but that's gonna cost you some serious of money to do so. Anyway you can return it? That or get a lawyer, I'd say.

 

if he didn't try the engine brake on the test drive it's his own dumb fault no lawyer needed
