Dale,
Jon is correct as usual. Just don't make a habit of overspeeding your engine when applying the Jake Brake. Understand what your maximum RPM rating is and keep at or under that point.

Forget to say above, if we go up a hill in 3rd, we down the other side in 2nd with full jake. If the jake will hold the coach back in 3rd, I would use that..
Made it to Richfield, UT on I-80 most of the way with no problems. It did help to switch modes to avoid shifting to a "dead" gear.
The only temperature problem was 19 degrees this morning and snow! Hopefully Cedar City and Virgin, UT will be better.
Bwaltz,
You mean they told you how to climb some of those mountains and never told you how to deal with the cold?
Thanks to the "Aqua Hot gods" we stayed warm. I still need to figure out the block heater though.
