My question to you is how come he was besides you all three times???? The Jake brake comes on when you let up on the accelerator pedal and you slow down. Why where you still next to him if he was slowing down???? Could it have been it was down hill just a little??? I use the Jake brake all of the time unless it is in a town. I do keep all of my exhaust stock and leak free. I also have all Cummins ISM and ISX motors. The Jakes are not as loud on them as Cat and Detroit.
Like I posted below. We own three semis. They get about 100K each year in miles. One does not have a Jake brake. I usually spend $2000-2500 more on maintenance on it than the other two. I will not own another truck without it having Jake brakes.
You don't like the Jake brake sound. I hate the straight pipes on: trucks, motor cycles, and tractors. All make too much noise.
