Should this be working as soon as u let off throttle? Or that delay is not normal. Ive asked a few other guys but they had 485s and it was a Pete, but they say there is no delay.
I will check the things u mentioned. Thank you!

Wow! You got me there! Mine DID delay on my 2008 ProStar, 600 hp ISX... I just did the in frame and when we popped the top the wire harness was shot, along with one of the sensors, it was toast. And I hate to say, I tried the Jake once, do not recall if it still had the delay or not. I rarely if ever use my Jake, I just know it works. But, I would still inspect the harness and the two sensors. I will bet you a dollar that one of the harness sensors or connections is shot, if not the harness cable itself. Mine was ugly, and I was surprised the Jake even functioned when I saw what was left of the harness.

Alright cool, thanks. Ill have to have it checked out. They did check the setting like mentioned above by other guy, when i first got it. But they said it was set where its supposed to be. I forget the 2 terms they called it.
I use the jake a lot cause its in a dumptruck and alot of areas we work are back roads. So it really bothers me and the other guys that drive it and its not there right away when u let off. Ive personally never drove another truck that was delayed like this.

It is pretty easy to check, just pop the valve cover. The wire harness runs in from the drivers side and sits right on top of the head. Should not take more than twenty minutes to do the inspection and get it all back together.
