PT36 retarder & other things

[Richard Hayden]

Here's what the Allison Operator's Manual says on page 18, in a Caution box at
the bottom of the page:
"DO NOT OPERATE THE INPUT OR OUTPUT RETARTDER SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH AN ENGINE
EXHAUST BRAKE. Extreme torque loads can be produced in the range section,
damaging the transmission".

Leroy may have some other information on this. I know he was looking into doing
this very thing.

I don't know Ernie. It's arranged the same on mine. The Allison Operator's
Manual simply states not to use them together with no expansion on that. I did
operate the bus using both at first until I got my hands on an Operator's
Manual, no more. Maybe one of gurus can offer something.

I wonder why the Allison manual says to not use the Jake and transmission
retarder together? The jake on my coach is exhaust. The tranny retarder is on
the transmission.
