What is the High / Low switch for the Jake?

It determines how many clyinders are put into braking ( compression ) mode. High is all and low is half, I think.

If you ran a wire from the brake light fuse terminal in the passenger foot well to the downstream side of the jake brake on off switch, then you could automatically have what I described above without adding a brakeswitch and an additional toggle. "

Sounds like a project for Spearfish!

Ron, since my jake is on all of the time, I run with it on high. I have not found a situation where I needed it on low.
