I've done a bunch of those grades going out east... Like Michael said just leave it on. I slow down to 30 mph or so as I begin the descent. Don't "ride" the brakes ...Stab them to slow down and then release them in order to let them cool.
You might want to have the Jake brake checked by a mechanic before the trip. My mechanic found malfunctioning solenoids on two of my cylinders when he checked them.
