How to Use the Engine Brake - Stunning Loop 375 around El Paso

wow.. what a scenery .. beutiful

Good to see you Kevin and Tonya again, in a new video. It always makes my day when I get a chance to drive along with you guys. Keep up the good videos and God bless you and your family.😊

Nice bypass .. I've never taken that way before

I-20 to I-10...love traveling on those two roads

Whew...I thought what an area to have a breakdown. I read the thumbnail and thought you had engine problems, then realized you were talking about braking and not breaking. :)

50° Up in Dallas this morning. 👍👍

I have never taken that bypass. But it was always late at night or very early in the morning, always dark, when I went through El Paso. I used to stay there overnight at a hotel I really liked when I took a prolonged leave. Drive from San Diego To San Angelo TX or Longview TX. A two day drive. Going up that grade in NM will be fun.

Thanks for sharing. Never been in East El Paso. When I was traveling to El Paso, there was no freeway. Thank for the arm chair vacation this morning. Enjoyed the video very much. Be safe and have a good day.😊😊😊😊😊

You said that in wet situations you use that jake brake thing in 1st setting, because it might otherwise loose traction. But wouldn't it stop braking if it detects traction loss? I am asking because in our trucks we could fully engage "retarder" (very strong brake) in every condition, because it works with ABS and it will not lose traction.

When my hubby and I was driving they didn't have the bypass around El Paso

Great video 🎉❤

For every 1000 feet of climbed elevation there is a 3 degree drop in temperature from sea level.

I think that one of the safety features of a automated shift transmission is that there is no danger of missing a gear when downshifting going down a grade to keep the truck speed at a safe velocity. I've heard of truckers missing a gear when gearing down on a manual tranny and then cannot stop the truck to get into gear again going down the hill.

Drive safe

Thanks for this. We travel through El Paso several times a year in our RV but have never taken the loop. Because of the grades we may continue to stay on 10.

Boy, ain't you special

You described when to use a jake brake, but to somebody who has never been in a rig........they probably have on idea what it is, nor how it works..................nor what degree of jake you use under what grade/load conditions.....................

Too bad you took the loop,, if you would have stayed on I 10 I could have gotten video of you going past my house. Good luck to y’all and have a safe trip.

What made Kevin choose DryVan over flatbed ? Money wise

So when are you driving through Wilcox, Az. Or did you on 10/16 and encounter the two wrecks one outside Wilcox the other outside Chandler? Both had interstate closed.

Nice View

How to use an engine brake????? DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

E said Drive Safe!!!! That says it all!!!!!!!!!!!!

This should be titled how to not be a truckdriver

Pringles are ok at altitude. Flying on a C-130 from RAF Woodbridge to Zaragoza Air Base, Spain we experienced a rapid decompression at around 30,000 feet. Everyone's potato chips bags exploded. My Pringles can held strong. It expanded in my hand then went back down. It was still sealed. I had chips to eat, not so for anyone else. 😂

Greatest channel on earth 🌎 n usa 🇺🇸 ❤❤

That is so pretty absolutely love the scenery definitely miss being on the road

I have to share this. Today I took the wrong road in California. 8 miles of “oh crap
What have I gotten myself into” what’s even more funny is a Loves gas truck was right behind me. The road wasn’t restricted for trucks but trucks were not recommended.
Here’s the halfway point. (36.8328973, -121.5709369)
Plug that into google maps and let me know if you would attempt that with a semi!
Im just glad my truck and I are ok.

You had a few negative comments. Must have been a slow day for them. 😂

Wow, when I was a kid I rode my bicycle from the middle of El Paso to that museum back in the 1970's. Glad to see it is still there!

Wow i had no idea Texas got mountains, thought it was all flat. Thanks for taking me there.
