    Nope I have seen them and the shaft wear, but not break to where the brake will not hold the shaft. I have seen the friction material gone, as well as too much grease keep the break from holding. Oil field or not they would be some runn oft drivers if I had any say. No sense in just beating the piss out of a truck

    My mind is slightly blown, honestly, the two old farts that taught me everything I know about trucks both told me many times not to burry the clutch going down the road because it will sheer the tabs off, and they both showed me different times of that certain case. Oh well, different people different experience I guess

    ####, you were in luck to be in gap. Tons of truck service out there. I haul stone out of gap every now and then. Actually right next door in a town called paradise.

    It's never too late. Trust me. Old age and treachery needs a bit of practice now and then.
