But claiming that 2,200 RPM going downhill with the engine brake will damage a DD-15 (presumably with the DT-12 transmission?)?
It won't if the computer is controlling the RPM and shift points.
Those engines were designed just for that.D.Tibbitt, BlackjackCo, Crude Truckin' and 1 other person Thank this. -
Youve been driving a truck with an automated transmission for one year.
It’s not an automatic transmission.
You use the jake exactly the same as you would on any other truck.D.Tibbitt and hope not dumb twucker Thank this. -
