Frequent lubrication and frequent use is key to keeping these in order. Also down shift before starting down a hill. If you come up in 6th and the hill is 4-5 degrees maybe you want gown down in 5th or 4th. The closer you are to the transmission shift points the more breaking you will get. Going down the west side of the tunnel West of Denver 4th or 3rd works well to keep the coach speed between 35 and 40 MPH. I switch on when the speed comes up to 40 and off when it drops to 35. In this way I do not break just use the PAC brake.
