its not that it couldn't be done, jacobs engineering excuse is theres not enough compression to make it worth while on a 6BT...but they didn't realize they are comparing apples to oranges...you can't compare a semi trucks huge engine and compression + compression brake stopping power to a little 5.9L and its compression + stopping power....
its like saying there is no point in making service brakes for the dodge because the discs and drums aren't large enough...
dodge cummins are only rated to tow something like 23k...not the 80-150k the semi's haul and have to stop...its really no comparison. that little compression compression brake is more than enough to stop or effectively slow down 23k, but I think they were thinking about trying to stop a semi load with a 6BT...lol that is obviously not going to happen.
either way its their loss...they could have expanded to a whole new field of trucks...

thats was a great, and a ****ty year for me. went to my first 3 pats games that year, for free, the first one was the last regular season game, and both playoff games. at the AFC champion ship i was within 10 feet of the pats cheerleaders, oh man what a sight!
then the day before the superbowl my dad passed away... so it was a tougher loss for me than everyone else cause my dad loved football and the pats.

Hopefully the Pats will win it all this year
