Long Distance with Interlock On?

Its not on the engine. I have no clue what he's talking about to be honest.

 

The Jake brake has nothing physically to do with the axles themselves being locked in or out. The interlock is between the axles or rear ends or drive axles which ever you prefer to call them. The Jake Brake is on the engine, yes the Jake Brake can send you spinning IF you are so ignorant to engage it at the wrong time under the wrong circumstances.

 

Youre fine, I did local container drops here in Alaska to about 40 businesses a day plus shuffling in between putting on 250 miles a day. As long as you dont switch while you’re spinning out youre fine.

 

It gives you twice as much engine braking power before you break traction. That's the relation between the motor and interaxle lock. Can make the difference between burning your brakes and going down a hill at a reasonable speed.

 

I cannot argue with someone who does not read and understand my response. Merry Christmas.

 

And while it's not wise to blindly trust it, the ECM will pull the jake back if the wheels slip more than a couple MPH. Consider that a pro-level tip not to attempted by lower skill levels.

 

I was being facetious in my reply regarding Jake/engine.
I don't use the inter axle lock going downhill often because I would rather have one drive out of four begin to lock up than two. It still allows three out of four to track and results in less chance of beginning to jacknife. Still need to be quick releasing the clutch to keep the engine running, and apply brake to hold speed back. Works for me.

 

My experience is with mechanical engines.

 

Dude you are absolutely way out to lunch. I don't have the energy to do respond to this lmao

 

Is not a Dude.......... Dude
