Exactly my point, its just a meter. Even if you lut in a tach that has a redline at 2300 rpm when the engine is designed to do stage 3 jakes at 2200
How do you use the jake brake on a truck with an automatic transmission?

Do you own the truck? If so, take it to the dealer for a warranty repair. Then you can hear it straight from the horse's mouth that its fine.

Also, these new autos are synced up with the engine. I'd bet it won't downshift to an unsafe rpm.."
otterinthewater, you wrote that "if you saw 2200 RPM's on your tach, you would have a #### heart attack." singlescrewshaker is saying that the jakes are most effective in a range that includes 2200 RPM's, and he says that he bets that the transmission won't downshift to an unsafe RPM, even though i said my truck downshifted to 2200. If singlescrewshaker knows that my truck downshifted to 2200, and if singlescrewshaker says that he doubts that the transmission would downshift to an unsafe RPM, then it follows from that that singlescrewshaker don't think that 2200 RPM is too high. Yet you say you would have a #### heart attack if your tach was at 2200. I am surprised you don't see a contradiction there. -
