In response to Chester's post:
(In a long downhill run, such as the 40 miles between Reno and Sacramento, the engine is basically idle but the transmission overheats due to the constant use of the Jake Brake, like 250 degrees. That is when it would be useful to have a switch to bypass the fan thermostat and cause the fan to cool the transmission.)
I am unable to find a "Jacobs Brake" connection to transmission or engine overheating. Are you using a retarder?
