Yes indeed Steve, but that doesn't keep inquiring minds from taking the band off. Inside you'll find a hella strong spring that is just waiting to spring out worse than a Jack in the Box. Dave, I can't immagine them being illegal, aside from not being legal parking brakes. Then again, there...

Anywhere between the MC and the WC, normally plumbed into the cab for ease of access. Push the brakes, push the button in, left off the brakes. The line is locked. To deactivate, simply press the pedal and when the pressure exceeds what it was set at, the button pops out and you're good to...

Very interesting! On my 1 ton the parking brake works dandy. http://www.awdirect.com/dual-lock-mico-brake-lock-02640169/brake-locks-pto/?CID=BASE08 Still electric, but way cheaper than $1200. http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/Jamar-Line-Lock-p-74.html That's what I was thinking about...

Ha the reason you didn't understand is because I was asking Al the advantage to the Maco Line Lock (electric and $1200) vrs 2 manual line locks ($120). I understand air brakes, dad was a truck driver for 41 years :). Ever seen an unsuspecting (although not uninformed) retard take a can apart...

But what's the advantage over manual line locks? Neither are approved, rated, or intended to be or replace the parking brake.

Perhaps not new axles, but yeah, a huge PITA. What's the advantage?

The little drums are inside the rotors? That's fairly common now.

Depends on the application. For a given surface area of the drum or disc, and a given technology (composition of the friction surfaces) a drum will never be as good as a disc for stopping and a disc will never be as good for keeping it from rotating.

Al, holy sheep chit those are expensive! I was thinking a pair of manual line locks, one to lock each axle. Tucker, drum brakes are better for parking than disc brakes. The static shear load they can withstand is far greater than a disc brake. Discs are better for bringing the vehicle to a...

My chip truck has the PITA drive line parking/service brake. The main downside is it's electric/hydro, not a lever to pull. It needs to be overhauled/replaced, but finding parts for it (or finding parts to make it a manual activated brake) has proved difficult. I have thought about measuring...
