Now another newbie question. How much actual braking do you guys feel when your Jake brake works? Mine doesn't seem to pull down much at all?

I could really feel the braking when I was in my 39' Discovery so I knew it was working, but honestly, I don't feel much of a brake at all, and I have the control set on 1, which I think is the lowest setting, meaning the most braking?

Is it possible my Jake isn't actually working? I know the brake lights come on, when I release the throttle cause I see the brake light on the dash come on, but is it possible I am not getting the braking I should be getting?

Thanks

Hello Gary,

I noticed the same thing about the Jake Brake, and thought it was a weight difference issue, my plastic coach was a much lighter coach, less HP. and seemed to react faster. As for my air, the coach seemed to be up where it should be at all times. I sometimes when getting ready to go down a long 6% several mile grade, would cycle the jake brake from off to high just to test it, and it seemed to react better, or at least I felt better about.
