Temps

[David Brady]

Corey,



You probably know, but it's worth repeating: a good rule of thumb is

"don't go down faster than you can go up".



Regarding temps, you may want to invest in a VMSpc, or similar, so

that you can get data directly off the CANbus. Most of us have found

by now that our gauges aren't always accurate.

The DD Series 60 has an exhaust "jake brake" retarder. It does not
have a separate heat range and does not overheat. -- Indeed, the jake
brake might actually have a modest cooling effect on the engine. The
older 8v92 was a 2-cycle engine and did not have much compression
braking, so other types of retarders were used, often one that was
electrical technology -- that could be overheated and damaged.
