  2. the early maxidynes with a 5 speed relied on a good clutch brake to kill revs Btween gears

    the next V: they used the engine brake to kill the revs and do a quik shift. U could pull the gear lever stright thru ,It twas the next best thing to a automatic

    U did half the gear changes compared to a screemer /road ranger set up

    The late 60's we fitted jake brakes to B61 mack with Quadbox ....most effective in saving brakes as most Lowboys of th@ era had air over Hyd brakes

    thinkn way back wen Engine brakes produced ruffly 90% of retardation power of the engine HP

    rule of thumb twas wot ever gear U pull a load/hill U could go down the hill with the same load & gear with only lightly fannin the brakes to control the rev speedmy tax my taz free info for the day

    LOL

    They normally slide in

    the wacking with a B F Hammer or F B Hammer is from removing the axle

     

    U give it a big hit in the middle and the axle rebounds and jumps out a bit

    gudday m8

    RE: Back when two stacks were closer to the center of the cab for a reason other than looks

    Originally the KW 1/2 truck had a V6-71 and th@ put the winch hard up against the cross over exhaust to our passenger side of cab

    when we shoe horned the V8 in it worked out easier to run the exhaust straight back and up each side of the winch

    with 2 mufflers it did not quient the beast down so to Answer the Q: the exhausts are inline with the exhaust manifold outlet

    RE:  Is the pedals backwards
