Some years ago I was pulling an overloaded 35' 5th wheel trailer thru some BC mountains, and on one particularly steep descent I my brakes started fading badly. I was running away in 3rd gear and had to do a screaming double-clutch into 2nd. Good think I caught the lower gear as otherwise I'd be part of a scrap heap WAY down in the bush. For the rest of the decline I let the engine wind up to 3000 rpm, then brake hard down to about 1500 rpm, then let the brakes cool as the engine revved back up. I took the ferry to come back !!
