What are Jakes on a semi truck?
The Jacobs Engine Brake® (also known as the “Jake Brake®”) is a diesel engine retarder that uses the engine to aid in slowing and controlling the vehicle. When activated, the engine brake alters the operation of the engine’s exhaust valves so that the engine works as a power-absorbing air compressor.
Why do semi trucks make loud noises?
The type that produces the loud popping sounds is a compression release engine brake. It works by changing the valve timing in the engine, creating pressure in the cylinders to slow the pistons. On the piston down stroke the intake valve is opened to allow air to enter the cylinder. Then the intake valve closes.
