Tom,
I am not familiar with BD exhaust brakes but plan to install
an exhaust brake when I purchase a new diesel puller in the near future.
Reading your post I am confused by the comment, "I was
travelling with the brakes on" then goes on to describe your near disaster
experience. The way you described the event seems to say that
application of the BD exhaust brake was not a direct result of driver
action.
Is the BD exhaust brake applied other than on demand by
the driver?
