Mike Gotta jump in here with my 2 cents worth. Former diesel pilot, now retired. Have no experience with small diesels, but... Spent last 10 years driving 14 liter cummins with highest rated mufflers, Jake switch always on max. Had a radio contact from CHP trooper going down Grapevine, grossing 80,000# holding at a controlled speed. CHP- Hey big rig, your brake lites don't work! Me- not using brakes, letting Jake hold it back! lites working now?(tapped pedal) CHP- yup lites work now, but can't hear Jake! Me- just good muffler! By the way, company made me take a new tractor whenever mileage hit 450-500 thous miles. Only brake replacement was caused by leaking grease seal. DOT inspection at turn in time showed approx 50% service life remaining. Just my thoughts. Willie
