Re: [A/S] Exhaust brakes - A word of caution



Thanks Tom....

You know I pulled for 4 hours last week in pouring rain with the BD brake on 
and no problems... but my conditions must have been a bit different. I wonder 
if you hit some oil or gas on the road.

Oddly, I took my exhaust brake off this morning because of your caution about 
not using it all the time.  LOL, I was coming off I-40 on to a ramp, let off 
on the gas and almost wrecked because I expected the truck to slow down like 
it always does... and it didn't... I was flying around the curve and had to 
hit the brakes hard..... 

I was thinking about you when it happened..... (c:

Glad you are okay..... and the Streamline wasn't hurt.
