Jake brake squeak?
Anybody's Jake Brake squeak when it engages? Mine's recently started doing it. It works fine, just wondering if it has happened to anyone else or if some ones knows what could cause it.

Suggestion guys - - when it is cool, go under the rig and give the hose type clamps a turn or too. Mine started that way and ended up squeeling like a stuck hog. Turned out one clamp had broken.

Mine did that one time, too when it was on at high RPM.
The torque specified in the installation manual for the band that holds the jake to the turbo outlet seemed kind of low, so I just snugged it down a bit more from there and that cured it.
If tightening that band doesn't do it, you probably need to replace the gasket between the turbo outlet and the jake...
