Help me get down this mountain please

Thats snub braking not stab ,clearly we're all talking about the same thing but using diffrent terms


Now please admit your wrong and I'm right and we can mvoe on

 

By the way, I made it safely to the bottom of that mountain.

I was in 4th gear and everytime it got to around 2500 rpm I would slow it down to under 2000. That would keep me just below 20 mph. I was just worried about losing air pressure and heating up the brakes.

 

I wouldn't make it a habit of reving the motor to the moon. What motor do you have?

 

LOL,, you're still stuck on book sense over common sense. I don't concede, especially to slow learners. Just funnin ya! Drive safe.

 

Too many questions!

 

What date was the truck assembled?

If it is an Aquarius then you are about average.

Virgo, it needs to be scheduled strictly.

Sagittarius, find another driver.

Mikeeee

 

Sorry I forgot cdl school didn't explain motors, all they care if it's leaking. So if your motor isn't leaking after 2500rpm jakes, keep going till it does.

 

What if it was made in Canada?

 

UCLA did a study years back.
Extended Light pressing of the brake is more effective than the stab 5 mph method.

2000 rpm is fine 2500 rpm is pushing it.
Jakes are most effective at 1800 rpm+ ish

Its in the manual.

And I see you have a towstar with an exhaust brake?

That's a dangerous truck in mountains.
Junk
A deathtrap.
Double down on your downshift.
Go one more than you think you'll need.

That thing is junk.

Great riding truck... But just a complete junker.

 

People have made huge windows in blocks doing 2500rpm jakes. No way I'd ever jake over 2000. But hey I'm not a company driver, so I assume 2500 is okay then
