    Had a rental truck while mine was in shop for repairs. A KW, that had the brake light on when jakes on.
    Don’t like it.

    Have disk on truck, drums on trailers. They tolerate each other. Seems this mix runs the drums a bit warmer.

    Always wondered why trucks don't have brake temp gauge.

    I havent watched tv since i left home after thanksgiving. It is quite weird turning it back on to see all the crap going on in the world. Makes me like being a trucker and be able to stay away from all that brain melting ignorance

    Honestly they taught both. Just for these easier passes sustained was better. Was light pressure and short time.
