HOW IT WORKS

When activated, the Jacobs Engine Brake opens the exhaust valves near the top of the compression stroke, releasing the highly compressed air through the exhaust system.
Little energy is returned to the piston, and as the cycle repeats, the energy of the truck’s forward motion is dissipated, and the truck to slow down.
