  • I did that coming through Ft McHenry tunnel in Baltimore Md. Lady in the toll booth asked " That wasnt you doing that was it?" Why no Ma'am not me in my big black KW with its Detroit roaring lol. Love it.

  • Yeah man doing a longhaul with auto tranny sucks. Manual is better in traffic too. From my perspective at least.

  • @truckpics Simpler way of explaining it, When you give it gas, the brake kicks off. When you let off the gas, the brake kicks in.

  • @truckpics go to any area where theres a intersection and alot of trucks (off ramps) and just sit for 5 mins, watch the truck jake to the corner, go around and when he's upshifting you'll here the jake kick in when he releases the gas. we left the jake on all the time in our ol mack dump truck.

  • @truckpics Im from Adelaide, I know exactly what you mean.... I love that sound...especially in those tunnels ox

  • @ArtStone LOL< i was thinking the exact same thing,

  • the unmuffeled jake brake society. our motto. "we dont make the tunnel, we make it vibrate'

  • Was wondering why a truck was loitering in the "fast" lane until I saw Australia in the comments

  • depends on a few things...your truck's specs, how heavy you are, etc

  • OHHHH YAAAAA,last time I came down was about 2 years ago,I saw a volvo largecar with burning brakes,beautiful drive but there are some idiots out there. Ridin down with the jake will make you rethink straight pipes though.

  • mack vision with 42.5tons, i come down in 4th on the jake with horton on ;)

  • what gear do u use when coming down into ADELAIDE??
