[QUOTE="S hammer, post: 469696, member: 15182"] I don`t know of any driver with reasonable experience that uses the stab braking system! Light reasonable steady pressure with occasional letting up on the brake as you feel the unit NOT speeding up beyond control. This is with jake brake equipped tractors..Never driven without jakes.. By the way, when I first started driving I used the stab method once. I was desending an unknown hill to me which was rather long and STEEP with curves & stabbing all the way down and braking was getting less & less effective! Why? Because I was fanning all of my air supply away; I got lucky on that one and NEVER use the stab method again!....Get in the right gear considering the mauntain grade,weight,weather, etc. and use the steady braking all the way down to the bottom...P.S. You can also let up on the braking and let the jake brake hold you back and re- apply the brake pressure as needed too..(most common method I use) no fires,no air loss and in control...This is only attainable with good brakes and properly adjusted by the way!
