Can ya pull the fuse for the sensor in the front bumper on the bendix system
On a prostar and get away with it ???

 

Yes

just depends how long lol

 

True. I'll plug it back in when I go to a terminal. The sensor can see through my oversize sign but I'm not going to chance any abrupt moves with this load. Although it sucks being limited to 55mph in Indiana and not having cruise.

Yeah me too psshhh....

 

Oh yeah if you do you won't have cruise control or tractor abs.

 

be super thoughtful about monkeying with any safety equipment on the truck. i think the bendix system sucks, but if you hurt or kill somebody in a rear-end and a lawyer finds out that the sensor was tampered with, you will go to jail for a long time.

 

very true. My Bendix system has been messed up since I've had the truck. Been to the dealer twice and Roehl maintenance twice, has adjusted the front sensor in which all times has come out of align in which doesn't me allow to run cruise or abs. The more time I spend at each of those places loses me money and time. It's a good point though and will be addressed and fixed as well in due time. For now doesn't benefit me to run it. I understand what your saying and agree. Also I've heard that the break check it gives you that many drivers have complained on how unsafe it is and have had through Roehl fixed to where it doesn't do it but all else with the system still works.

 

Genius! I was considering drive my truck into a bridge to make that squeak stop. Your grease on the rubber seal worked like a charm!
