Funny how so many places have ordinances against using jake brakes because of the noise, but none of them enforce the noise or muffler laws.
Is it because they don't want to write up their friends with those obnoxiously loud straight piped Harley's. I hate those things!!
Here in Ky it is illegal to run a big truck with out mufflers, I got a ticket in Tn for not having mufflers on the truck I was driving, owner payed the fine and put mufflers on.
I ran muffles on all the semi's I owned, didn't want to listen to loud pipes for hours on end, plus didn't want the attention.
Can't stand loud pipes on diesel pickups, rice burner cars or crotch rockets ether.
Don't get me wrong, I ran aftermarket muffles on my performance street cars but not obnoxiously loud, something that had a nice performance sound that didn't irritate the police.
There's a slight 3/4 mile long down grade into a local town, due to the noise from straight piped trucks the town passed a jake brake ordnance.
Police officers there are friends, told me the ordnance was 99% unenforceable, they could only right tickets to ones they actually see and hear use their jake brakes.
I told them the muffler law was easy to enforce, if it sounded load pull it over, if it didn't have mufflers write them a ticket.
Once the word got about tickets for no muffles the jake brake noise problem would go away.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
