Speaking of extra brakes

Hello everyone. I drove a Volvo (truck, not sedan) most of the day and had
lots of fun using the jake brake, especially while passing pedestrians, and
was wondering something. Did the Government ever put a jake brake on a
multi-fuel? Has anyone out there every did it themselves? I am always
impressed with the fact that with proper planning you can avoid using the
regular brakes most of the time if you have a jake brake. I think this
could be another "alternative" brake for you folks to add to the wish list.

Just a thought,
Joe Trapp

Oh yea, jake brake might be a regional name. I think its an exhaust brake.
