    I guess I missed that, so they are saying the pedal linkage was broke? I dont think I've ever even heard of that happening on a newer truck or that they even had one

    No if they are hot and moving fast. They won’t do much

    I’m not sure what that even means, my brake pedal doesn’t have a linkage.

    Hey @shogun , didn't you have the truck you drive retrofitted with a hand clutch and hand brakes?

    Pretty sure I've seen some trucks (Western Star and International come to mind) that have the treadle valve mounted up on the fire wall. I believe they've got a pivot pin for the brake pedal lever up under the dash.

    Yeah they have that and I guess it that pin came out you’d lose brakes.

    No, I’ve got trailer skirts that move out perpendicular when I get going too fast. It’s like stage 3 jakes.

    I've only ever been up close to the Workstars and I'm pretty sure they were up on the firewall. I shouldn't say they're all like that.
