    The Jake brakes are weaker with the automatic transmission compared to when they’re paired with a manual transmission. You might want to get a second opinion on the valve stem clips I mentioned. Obtain your engine family number and serial number, and contact a Detroit Diesel dealer to inquire about them.

    If you’ve already disassembled the bedroom and opened the hatch, you’ve tackled parts of the job that are more complex and might be beyond what a typical service provider would handle reliably.

    I once had a customer ask me to seal an oil pan gasket leak on a 2000 model. When I dropped the pan, I found that some of the clips had fallen into the perforated holes on the oil pickup. These clips weren’t noticeable through the engine’s performance or sound, even though they were affecting the engine.
