Older CAT trucks had a hydraulic retarder called the BrakeSaver — not a traditional Jake brake. It uses engine oil pressure to create hydraulic drag inside the drivetrain. Pull the lever down and it increases resistance, slowing the truck without riding the service brakes. Most pre-’96 setups produced roughly 200–300 horsepower of retarding power at higher RPM. #CatDiesel #BrakeSaver #OldSchoolTrucking #EngineRetarder #HeavyHaul | Thunder Haul
