Some drivers use the jake to bring the older engines down in rpms faster so they can catch the next gear quicker and loose less speed between shifts. It takes a lot of practice and skill to do it. I've never done it. The newer trucks,2004 and newer, run at a lot higher compression and have a lot more exhaust back pressure so they do this naturally. With my 05 cummins I have to keep a bit of throttle in during shifts or the engine drops so fast it will put back presure on the trany before I can get it out of gear, or it will drop right past the next gear before I can hit it. It takes a bit of gfetting used to the first time you try it.
