When I first read your post, I thought it may be something I wasn't aware off. Now I know for sure, it's something I wasn't aware of.

From the read part you posted, it looks like it's a performance type product for quicker stops???

I have never heard of this before but that doesn't mean it's not being used in some of these trucks. However, I'm not sure I understand why you would need a 10lb residual pressure component to keep the break shoes close to the drums. On my rear breaks, I just adjust them until they are barely touching the drums. That's about as close as you can get them for stopping purposes.
