Questions on engine brake use.

Nah it’s an old truck, a 98 I believe. It’s got turbo issues as it is. I just don’t like ripping on it too hard. My boss doesn’t care about fuel, we sell fuel. We’re one of the few places I can think of that have a couple 90 mph trucks still. No one does that but they’re more than capable.

You gotta rev that engine no matter what though. I think it’s power peaks right around 2k.

As far as Jakes in the city I’ll wind down to 8th gear and cut them off. I’m always in industrial areas. No one cares.

 

Awww does the loud noise scare you? Jakes are the best music there is to fall asleep to

 

Who still wants to hear what anybody thinks by the time your 65, I'm 22 and don't give a rat's behind what anybody thinks

 

right. Go with that attitude and I'll go with mine.

 

Sure thing but using jakes in a truck stop or in town is a j@ck@### thing to do I'll agree

 

You gotta hear to get your medical card...

I’m 30 with a constant ringing in my ears. I wear earplugs now when I’m around loud stuff for a while. I can still hear fine but I’m on the low side of the normal scale which is bad for someone my age.

I’m done treating my body like a dumpster.

 

Jakes won't give you ringing ears, now guns is another story

 

Oh yeah that’s probably what it’s from. Guns, tanker pumps and machine shops.
