John
First of all, you're welcome.
Our rigs were set up that the Jake would not kick in below 900 rpm. Also would not kick in if clutch or accelerator were pressed about 1/4 inch.
About the "black box", ours were downloaded & printed out at every oil change/grease job. Just for giggles I asked the shop forman to let me see the printout. Surprising what is in there-max ground speed (mine 68), max rpm (1800), idling hours(don't remember), idling hours by percentage(20){this includes idling in traffic}, number of "hard stops"(3) percent of travel in top gear(93), number of brake applications per 1000 miles(250)[some guys showed 3000 applications per 1000 miles]. This from tapping brake to drop cruise control. Tap the clutch drops the cruise but doesn't show as brake application. Max & average oil press & radiator temp, etc. Whole bunch more stuff that I don't remembeer. Printout would be 2 pages.
Enough rambling for tonight.
Willie
