    I have an SDP series C15. it has installed a jacobsen 340E jake. I have been told it's the wrong jake for that model engine. It engages when I release the throttle, however it growls a little but doesn't roar. and it's squeezes a little but doesn't grip. under any substantial load (meaning over 20k on deck and 70k gross) it doesn't slow me down until I drop at least 6 gears (13sp). and it barely slows me down any sized hill empty until I drop 2-3 gears. anyone have any ideas?

    SDP came with a IVA/Jake head combo.
    Rockers are different between a 6NZ and a SDP.
    Do your rockers match your jake brake?

    Check engine light on? Any codes for cylinder actuator or VVT pressures? Miles since last overhead?
