That's absolutely wild! I'm thankful my truck came with dual-circuit brakes for situations like this. I'm glad everyone is safe (y)

Is there something in this setup that would keep the steering axle brakes from locking up if air is lost? Perhaps a diagram would help illustrate this.

I did a little bit of research this morning about this type of air-boosted MC. It doesn't seem to exist after all :( If I ever bought an old deuce with single-circuit brakes, I'd consider going with a separate electric pump that does either vacuum or hydraulics for brake boosting. The...

I understand now, thanks! And I also understand now why an emergency spring brake failsafe was discussed. The problem with that failsafe is that without somehow splitting the front hydraulic brakes from the rest of that part of the system, all the brakes would be slammed on air loss, creating...

I just discovered this thread thanks to @patracy linking it from his brake line failure thread. I think this is all really neat going into modern safety solutions for brake redundancy on the old trucks! Having read through the entire thread, there's one thing I'm not entirely clear about: Can...
