How quickly should it take for the Jake Brake to engage after removing foot from the accelerator? Test drove an 07 and liked the ride, drive, and handling. Did not have to make in any steering adjustments. This was a pleasure to drive. The Jake Brake was turned on and set to high, but it seemed that it took several seconds before it would engage. Is this normal? I had to use the regular brakes to slow down. Thanks for any and all input.

Mine engages immediately but I feel very little effect at low rpm. As engine shifts down and rpm rises,
you will feel [and especially in my coach with a resonator], hear it. But I have very little braking effect at
low engine rpm. My jake will slow me down in town a bit, but always have to use the regular brakes.
