the unnecessary usage of j-brakes, why????

Jake brakes and green horses don't mix well. Other than that, sounds great to me

 

Oh jeez... you're from southern california, huh? You probably also think that logging is the cause of global warming when really logging is what manages the forests and prevents forest fires... Am I close? So do you plan to wipe ---- ---- with your finger or will you go all natural when you guys execute your "masterplan" and shut down forest management all together? haha ...sorry i got a little off track there

 

what kind of transmission? i've got an 05 kw with 425 cat and 18 spd and u can jake-shift all you need to... altho i dont cuz i value my job and my boss says no.. lol

 

People that wanna ##### about the trucks are why our rules are so bad.If it weren't for the trucks,people wouldn't have anything,their cars,even the computers they use to post putting truckers down.They need a reality check.truckers put their lives on the line in their jobs.some people have no respect.........

 

Ditto!!!!!

 

Howdy neighbor! That'd be NW Georgia, wouldn't it? NE Georgia is over by South Carolina...

You don't drive for Covenant, do you?

 

My answer would have been the same, except something different then animals. It would start with an A though.

 

Saying that he mentioned he is on a corner where the highway turns and he is "rural" there is probably a stoplight or slowed traffic around that "blind" corner .. who knows in his case it can be trucks reving up to downshift that he hears. Imagine localities making an ordinance against semis reving to downshift due to noise ...

On another note I could never get over why Seattle has an ordinance on I-5 on Jake braking. There is alot louder things in Seattle (Sirens, ship horns) than a jake brake.

 

Jake brakes are safety devices that can save lives, The city ordinances that prohibit them should have been written to fine modified systems not factory spec systems. The use of non factory spec jake brakes should be fined for violating a noise ordinance. The same ordinance could be used to fine Harley's with straight pipes. City officials who are not qualified for moving a big rig should not be allowed to limit the use of our safety equipment. We have to use jake brakes to save our main brakes when the 4 wheelers do somethinf really stupid in front of our trucks. That's where the kill box is at.
