Descending steep grades

[the missing link]

I am going to get my pee-pee slapped for saying this , maybe.
I have ran 5 axel and super bs in the bush and passes in not nice conditions.
When you can't hold it or jake stall , it's a whole new meaning of holy shi#t .
My preference is ( not saying I am right , most probably disagree with me and that ok)
I never have my jakes on high especially with these newer engines
I run on the lower rpm , because if I start to jake stall , or slid I still have rpm to work with and your jakes aren't as strong
I won't use my foot brake while on the jake . The reason is you can only put so much traction or force on a tire before it loses it . So if your jaking and hit the brakes your drives have the most amount of back presser on them .there the first to brake lose ,and the last ones you want to.what I do is use my spike (chicken wing ) for a couple of reasons, it will provide drag on trailer to keep it behind you , and your drives straight especially in corners . Just be very careful you don't overheat the trailer brakes by doing so.also power divider in is a most for me .
Also all the advice here is top notch , not just mine
