Pete with Detroit Jake Brake

Video from my cell phone on jake braking. I don't get the chance to drive this particular truck anymore so I thought I'd give you (my viewers) one more video.

Wow what was the highest RPM you hit in it? it sounded like it was over 2100rpm!

[pete379x4778]

@novakane87 never ever above 1700 RPM. Also never try to go below 1100 or 1000 RPM's with the jake (on any motor) because it is hard on the main bearings.

nice! i see you pulled out of prime stop and headed up to hadar!! i knew this truck was running around the norfolk area, oh ya and the fed ex pete you drive had a for sale sign in it awhile back, did it get sold??, looked like a nice truck!

[pete379x4778]

@4440chevy yes sir, you got that right. As far as the fedex truck goes, never did get any bites on it. One hell of a truck. C-15 twin turbo, straight 6" pipes which sounded awesome. I do have a video of that truck that I'll have to post sometime. But ended up trading it in when we got the 2011 pete 389 that has the isx15 and let me tell you I sure do miss my caterpillar. That new cummins has hardly no tone to it, just a lot of turbo whistle, but does pull decently.

[pete379x4778]

@TheKenworth69 yes, it is.
