How do you brake?

i only use it as needed, such as going down hill. i do not use it on customer property or in the truck stop parking lot, nor in any neighborhoods, i may have to pass thru.

 

Mines on all the time

 

I only put it on when going downhill while traveling, then toggle it back off when Im level.

 

And remember prohibited means required in English. So always do stage 3 through those small towns where they post a sign saying engine brakes "prohibited" lol

 

I leave mine on all the time. My truck is very quiet so the exhaust with the brake on isnt even noticable unless you know what to listen for.

 

I want to remember the signs mostly said the unmuffled use was prohibited. This shows how much attention I paid to them. A lot of OOs love to run those loud pipes. Now when that jake hits it's game on. A guy I know loves to do this around 2 or 3 AM.

 

It depends.

This may not make sense to you or some of you, but I always leave a little extry braking on tap if I need it.

I might even take a lane or three trying to hog tie a truck gone wild with a 60 PSI brake application in a difficult situation so I can miss someone by this much.

To this day even in the car I brake the same, with a little extry ready for more, much more if needed right now.

 

Theres a guy up here with a pre emissions N14 w900 that has 8inch straights, he rolls through town at high rpms, his sounds like hes got a .50 cal machine gun going off

 

That prick follows me around the country and jakes through the lots on each gear change while I sleep.
I hope I grow up to be like that some day.
