They actually worked pretty well if you used them right.
I don't know of anyone who still runs them. Jakes or a retarder...or better yet jakes and a retarder... are much more effective.

I do have to say it's pretty awesome that the op has a cabover. I always think they are the coolest thing on the road every once in a great while when I see one out in the wild doing work.

Cool truck. I’d love to see some interior and full truck pics. I’m a cabover fan but only had the opportunity to drive one a couple times.
This thread has been full of good information for me as a newer OTR guy, even though I have a pretty new truck.FlaSwampRat Thanks this.
