Allison Transmission Retarder
Bob loomas, 85PTT35, has been driving trucks for years. I asked him about
not having any retarder coming down a mountainn. He said the same thing- slow
down at the top- which for me in my 6v is quite natural- can't get over 30
going up with all my loads. and come down in 4th gear. he also stated we didn't
want to over-rev the engine. This will be an interesting trip to Montana this
year, unless I get the Jake to work. Ernie-83pt40 in Louisiana
