The great Jake brake connected to the brake lights mystery

That explains a lot!! I’ve been noticing a lot of Drivers riding brakes, yet not smoking them.First I’ve heard of it. That’s funny, I was just telling my wife, I can’t believe all these new Drivers riding the brakes. I always wanted just a switch to activate lights for tailgaters. I recall an O/O that had a set up to activate or deactivate, if spotted speeding. I thought that was the coolest thing.

 

My new bumpers been at home for 2 yrs. I know as soon as I put it on...... never fails, happened a couple times. The deer look for new bumpers. Lol

 

Some trucks are set up where you have to tap the brakes to get the jakes to come on, you don't need to apply brakes just tap the pedal, at least that is the way it is on my international.
Both of my KW's are set up for the jake to come on unless the cruise switch is on, then you have to tap the brake, when I first got them I thought something was wrong a time or two, then realize the cruise switch was on.
