You do need a battery, but that's an indicator of a bigger problem. Means it needs an alternator. If you just put a new battery, it will run but eventually die again because the motor would just be running off the battery power with a weak alternator. The motor would eventually kill the battery. Have a new alternator installed with the battery, no more issues outside of the normal maintenance..

Not exactly sure how it works but from what I understand, it cuts fuel and leaves the exhaust valves open in a way that is counterintuitive to the engine turning over, therefore slowing the truck down. Keeps wear off of the normal brakes and make stopping with huge loads easier.

What about the Silverton narrow gauge steam train from Durango to Silverton? About 10,000 ft.

@@boyracer3477 hrmm. Wonder if it was just Amtrak station. But I thought it was more than that. Fraser is at about 8800 ft

@@LiqdPT Well, to be fair, the Silverton train is kind of a specialty antique thing so perhaps the station isn't thought of as a regular station. But well worth doing. Goes up a stunning river gorge. I've done it twice. Was on it on 9/11. Very strange that.

The loud exhaust you were hearing from the truck is the exhaust break or “Jake break”.. not the exhaust being loud or different pipes. Love the video per usual Sam

Best content out there and you should do more like this, real content that feels less edited/ structured. Brilliant stuff Sam

Sam , never commented before. But I have to say your channel and content are fantastic. I used to have a boxster like yours and it’s inspired me to get one. Who needs Top Gear. 😂
