    Stay on flat roads and look for light loads as long as you pay for maintenance bills; I have 1,230,000 miles on original D13/2008; never used the jake. I replaced the original brake shoes and drums after 1 mil miles,it cost only 1000$; Years ago I learned hard way, in 2003 blew up a Volvo D12 motor, using the jake in Utah on I-15, heavy reefer load, almost 30,000$ to install new motor/towing ... after in 2004 blew the heads of my Detroit D60, in Utah on I-80.

    Pressure on the engine is no more than combustion pressure when in jake mode so i would say your engines would have failed anyway.

    Simply not possible to run around in this country without jakes or retarder... retarders require more maintenance....
