    Turn on the lights and the flashers. When you get to the rear of the truck, look to see if the tail lights are showing as well as the brights of the circuit. After your pretrip is done and while your still parked. Step on the brakes, if you dont see the red glow from your lights reflecting off something near by, then you need to check it. It isnt hard to do at a stop light. Look in your mirrors to see the reflection. Do it in enroute.

    I never thought of this as a problem before.
    Now I realize someone stole my centerblock for the brake pedal..
