    Apparently for some “Billy Big Riggers” keeping a low profile and not attracting attention isn’t a strong suit!!

    That’s why some of these towns are up in arms with noise ordinances on the issue!

    Me personally,if I’m passing through one of those little towns I prefer to use Level 1 and let the truck “whistle” through the neighborhood.
    Some of them are smart enough to call them “engine brakes” or “compression brakes”-and for good reason-they don’t want to get sued!!
    The terms “Jacob brake” and “Jake brake” is actually copyrighted by Jacobs/Cummins!lol
