Maybe but I don’t engine brake I never have, in cars or trucks either. I’ve never liked that feeling when the vehicle slows and my *** doesn’t

If I had to venture a guess, it would be the quality of one batch of springs vs another.

Maybe they got it together later but they were pure junk in shovels, seen the chain bounce so much it wore the ears off a couple shims, spit them and got chewed up inside the primary. I have a chunk of outer so I can use the button start and have the rest open. you wouldn't believe how much that chain moves even adjusted.
