[@CB-el3sv]

For those of you who are wondering how Jake brakes work, I'll try to explain in simplest form. When the Jake brakes are activated.. the exhaust valves are kept open. It turns the engine into a big loud air compressor. The force needed to compress the air out through the kept open exhaust valves is what slows the truck down.

[@pizza_booty]

not quite; activating the jake brake opens the exhaust valves but that just allows all the compression to escape and therefore it can't turn the crankshaft anymore, resulting in a slow-down

[@pizza_booty]

@@CB-el3sv i gotchu, but i think youre missing the key word in the name which is compression *release* brake. The engine slows down because all the compression in the cylinders is vented (see: released) to the atmosphere. I think you have the spirit of the answer right but im fairly certain its just a bit off. Sorry if im sounding condescending btw

[@averyw.3939]

It doesn’t keep the exhaust valves open through the whole compression cycle, just opens them right when the “bang” would normally happen. So the engine has to do the work of compressing the air but doesn’t get the push back on the cylinder from the compressed air, at least that’s my understanding of it.

[@CB-el3sv]

I'm glad everyone here knows how they work. I tried to explain it in the simplest way possible so that people who had no idea how they work could understand it.

[@KJ-kw7gh]

Normal Diesel engines don’t have a butterfly valve on the intake, like a gas engine does. So when you let off the accelerator, even with no fuel being supplied to the engine and causing a detonation, a Diesel engine still compresses the air in the cylinder which is transferred to the crankshaft as energy, which causes little to no engine braking. So a Jake brake causes the exhaust valves to open very near TDC, which releases the compressed air in the cylinder to the atmosphere(out the exhaust system). It turns a Diesel engine effectively into an air compressor.

[@JayFude]

I remember popping my Jakes going through a tunnel... was second greatest sound my truck made. First was when the flex pipe came off right at the turbo, but I had the music up and was cruising. Got to my exit, came off of cruise, and the Jakes kicked on, and my hood flexed with each pop... scared the shit out of me, I thought the engine was coming out!

When I was a kid 50 years ago now my family would travel from Southern California to Northern California almost every summer to see family or to go to Yosemite. I loved walking through the truck stops listening to the sound of the engines idling, scared that one would come after me, I had seen the movie "Duel". I loved the smell of the diesel exhaust back then, it's not the same now. On one trip we stopped at the top of the Grapevine in the turnout. TO GET SOME SLEEP!? One jake brake after another. Loved it!!

[@timmayer8723]

Did the same trip many times. The grape vine back in the fifties. The state had water fountains so people could refill their radiators and also get a drink for themselves. The climb in various parts of THE VINE was brutal, same with the down grades going down. Lots of them were 6 degrees or more and many had run away truck ramps. The uphill pace was so slow back in the day that the drivers would often step out of the cab and ride the running board just to cool off especially in summer. Jake brakes were common as were the jimmy diesels with the blowers, what a sweet sound that made.

[@mjb12141963]

@@timmayer8723 For me it was the 60's. I remember overheating and having to sit by the side of the road what seemed like days. One time we had to get water from a irrigation ditch in Dixie paper cups and towels because everything was full of food and drink since we were on our way. That may have been the same trip all out suitcases that were tied on top of the station wagon came loose and all our and cousins clothes went flying all over the interstate. My Uncle Jack always carried a bag of water hanging in front of the grill of his truck. We always took route 99 back then and we always stopped at Lyle's Truck Stop in Tulare, CA. Just recently I talk to my cousin that was the only thing to a brother I had. We are the age of the Grandparents back then and my kids are the age our parents were. One trip home I will never remember we listened to congress taking roll call vote to impeach Pres. Nixon. Later after we were home I saw him board Marine 1 for the last time. Really something the things that stick with us.

[@doimable]

[@bobwilliams3502]

You can shift faster that way thus going through the gears quicker and theoretically saving some fuel. But I have to admit it does sound cool

[@Dortchskii]

They’re called jakes because they were invented by a company called Jacobs Vehicle System inc Jakes only slow down the engine and that braking power is only applied to the rest of the vehicle when the clutch is engaged (clutch pedal released) when your clutch is disengaged (clutch pedal depressed) only the engine is being slowed and that lets you rev match faster. Therefore shifting faster, losing less speed while shifting, and saving fuel. Fun fact Jake brakes do not use any fuel at all. Edit Fun fact two, some modern trucks with automated transmissions also use engine braking to be able to shift quicker. Also edited for clarity. I can make a video explaining some of these things if people happen to be interested.

[@michaeldeloach838]

These guys are using the Jake to bring down the rpm of the motor quickly to shift quicker while floating through the gears (shifting without the clutch). The downside is it does slow the truck down a little between gears. If they were to just stay on the throttle slightly between gears it wouldn't engage but they would have to wait slightly longer to shift while maintaining their speed. 6 to one, half a dozen to the other.

[@graham2631]

@@bobwilliams3502 I'm a mechanic so not as good at it as our drivers but they go threw gears quicker all you hear is wruup, wruup, wruup, wruup no long pause inbetween when shifting just the engine pulling.

2:02 it sounds cool but it's so rough on you and everything that way. Good jake brake shifting is not knowing their on until you wanna slow down.

[@michaeldeloach838]

Thats right. If you're floating the gears you have to stay on the throttle just enough to not engage the JB between gears. If using the clutch you have to push it at the same moment you let off the throttle. Its not hard either way

[@devindefelice1879]

@@michaeldeloach838 I keep that throttle right at the sweet spot while floating. I think it's a art form to really be in sync with your motor and transmission

[@michaeldeloach838]

@@devindefelice1879 although, with these guys in the video many of them are using the Jake to bring down the rpm's quicker to shift through the gears quicker. The problem with that is you lose a little speed also between gears. I'd rather just keep it going and wait slightly longer to shift but that's just me

[@devindefelice1879]

@@michaeldeloach838 I agree. Although it sounds cool it makes for a rough a ride. Try and keep it as smooth as I can but my Jake's stay on all day lol

[@michaeldeloach838]

@@devindefelice1879 I have a brand new '22 Cascadia now and the Jake is so quiet but at this point in my career (30 years) I can appreciate the quiet haha

[@DeputyDeppe]

Please excuse my ignorance, but do you use the Jakes to try to save your truck and trailer brakes? Or are they necessary to use in combination to get some loads slowed down?

[@bigchungus2493]

Jakes are usually used to help hold the truck going down a hill, instead of riding the brakes the whole way, and they can also be used to save brakes

[@reedr1659]

Never understood why guys like loud Jakes. The cab is loud enough. I just want quiet after a day of driving.

[@chancewilkins3320]

They think it makes them macho and cool...

[@daze023]

Awesome!! First clip is either a guy taking his kid for a ride or he's back from a trip, and saying Honey I'm home!

[@TheMobileTrucker]

Music to my ears!!

[@echo1172]

Hear the J-Brake a lot on the road near our apartment. Love every second!! 😎

[@truthtalker7535]

Love em Jakes

[@Alfeco-dm7uk]

A compression release engine brake, compression brake, or decompression brake is an engine braking mechanism installed on some diesel engines. When activated, it opens exhaust valves to the cylinders, right before the compression stroke ends, releasing the compressed gas trapped in the cylinders, and slowing the vehicle.

N14 with “Gutted mufflers” wanna talk about some jakes that pop.

[@dreamchaser8508]

I drive a straight piped n14. Phone conversation while driving in the mointains?? Forget about it

[@wo-olf]

This is OBNOXIOUS! I love it!

[@PacificNWRailfan]

Amateurs that leave the jake switch on yet can't shift without the jake coming on.

[@michaelcarter7661]

I chuckle when I see that.

[@jr-gg8ci]

My Jake switches are on all day and never once have they come on when shifting only bc i know how to drive. It drives me absolutely crazy when drivers have Jake's on between shifts

[@dave8168]

Jake brakes RULE!!!!!

[@xsentrik1107]

I never use my Jake Brake while empty or Bobtail near residential homes! It’s just rude and I don’t need to feed my ego I need to feed my wallet!

[@leafs900]

Or hear yourself shitting

[@deere7227]

Amen. Abuse of Jakes lead to those signs

[@CharlesRoer-b1j]

Great to hear a Jake brake test

[@juanperez-sb1wo]

lol well I can tell you that an automatic Cummins jake brake ain't strong enough to slow nothing down, and pretty dangerous going down hill with a heavy load..because even in manual mode when the rpm hand gets up it just upshifts to the next gear on its own, the jake brake on high setting and really can't tell its even on...I hate automatics but atleast detroit jake brake works real good going down hill

[@CartoonWeasel]

Im about to start trucking in a couple months. Thats good info. (Chose to have the manual mention on my license since i rather drive a manual. My car is auto and thats enought)

[@nodak81]

The Jake has nothing to do with the transmission. If it's not slowing the truck enough with an auto then it also wouldn't slow it enough with a manual. Upshifting is a separate issue.

[@juanperez-sb1wo]

I dont know, I've never had a problem with the Jake not being strong enough in a manual truck, or an automatic truck with a detroit engine...but this new freightliner cascadia with the cummins "automated" transmission is straight trash, the jake brake is trash and the transmission is trash

[@kadekarren4949]

Sounds like you need to get them rebuilt or adjusted. They are a mechanical piece on your valves and see a lot of movement in their lives. Probably just wore out.

[@juanperez-sb1wo]

I know, but Cummins automatic/automated are still garbage even in manual mode...volvo automatic gets down, detroit automatic gets down but only in performance mode or manual mode because the econ mode is trash, Cummins automatic 100% pure trash in auto mode or manual mode..it could just be the way the company have them set-up though...but I'd take a real manual Cummins any day

[@tafarapaul]

Engine break sound is so satisfying 😌

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Brake not Break that means something is broken.
