Thanks for pointing that out Willie.

I also drive my truck with the Jake on max all the time and you can see it in our maintenance cost for brakes.

While the biggest hill we have around here is the overpass over a intersection a Jake still helps. Our system is set up that if you turn on the Jake and the cruise control (but not set for a speed) the Jake will not come on by just releasing the throttle. You need to touch the brake to set the Jake off. This system works well for us.

I will say the laws about loud Jake brakes has nothing to do with the Jake. The law needs to enforce the real problem and that is straight pipes with no mufflers.
