[QUOTE="Down The Stretch, post: 1237774, member: 50666"] Conan: The problem lies with the trailer(s)...when the engine brake kicks in, the tractor is being slowed down but the trailers are still traveling at the same rate of speed...when on ice or snow, you'll feel a pushing sensation that will often cause the back end of the tractor to kick out to one side or the other. If you're chained up, it's really not that big of a deal...if not, you'll be screaming for your Mama while you try to regain control of the vehicle. If you want to run an engine brake with your chains on, just make damn sure you turn it off after you take off the chains...I forgot once and only once. I never use it at all during snow storms now and that's the advice I give to all new drivers. [/QUOTE]
