When it's slippery, I'll use minimal jake brake and try to balance them with regular brakes.
Slipped past him & got the hell away from him as I expected his brakes to overheat & fade away

No idea if he was loaded or empty but using brakes instead of gearing is a excellent way to overheat them when on a long 7% downhil run with some dangerous switchbacks
We were using engine/gears and hardly any brakes
