Car Repair Skills Everyone Should Have

[fhdz]

BTW, any car can engine brake, manual trans are better for it, but auto trans works too. I have come down a mountain trail without ever touching the brakes, 4 low and low gear all the way down.

There is a confusion of terminology.  Earlier there was a question about signs which ban "engine brakes".  That is really a ban on Jake Brakes.  It is true that gearing down a transmission is a form of engine braking but it is not the type of braking which is banned.

I understand that there's a semantic issue. My post(s) had nothing to do with what was banned, but rather what was loud.

Jake breaks are loud and so are banned.  Gearing down our using a lower gear down a hill is not necessarily loud and so is not banned.

I'm not sure how many different ways there are for me to say that I don't care about what's banned or not banned. You're having an argument with some other person. Pro tip: it isn't me.

Why not just ban everything? Stupid liberals.

  Normal engine braking is just loud, not banned.

Jake brakes are on trucks, and they're sometimes banned.  They're not banned everywhere, maybe that's what's causing the confusion?

This entire thread is a microcosm of Languish.  It needs to be dipped in bronze and placed on the mantle for all to see, forever and ever.

Dipping bronze leads to more sound when you engine brake.
