Hi,

How many of you Wanderlodge PT and WB owners have Jake Brakes on
your Detroit Diesel Silver 330 (1982-84 6V-92TA), Silver 350 (1985-
89 6V-92TA), Silver 475 (1986-89 8V-92TA) or Silver 500 (1990-95 8V-
92TA)?

Jake Brake is the trademark of Jacobs Vehicle Systems for
compression-release engine brakes. Its initial development was
started in 1931 by Clessie Cummins (the founder of Cummins Engine
Co.), and handed down to his nephew Don Cummins, son of Clessie's
brother Deloss. The elder Cummins was looking for a way to bring his
heavy-duty diesel trucks to a stop without excessive engine wear. 30
years on, the official Jake Brake compression-release engine brake
entered production.

Jake Brakes make a machine gun sound (roughly: RAT-A-TAT-TAT-TAT)
as you apply them. Its loudness depends on the exhaust system type
and how well it is maintained. It was this aspect that caused many
cities to ban the use of Jake Brakes in certain parts of the town.
But not all Jake Brakes sound like this, though. The RAT-A-TAT-TAT-
TAT sound would refer to the compression-release Jakes, not the
exhaust ones.
