Wink Re: Emerg brakes & brake locks

DANGER!! DANGER!! ... someone using the word "Whatever" in the same discussion as 'Brakes'. lol!!

I've had the Cadillac calipers on my 14 bolt disks ... now have the mid-70's front calipers on the rear and like them better.

If I were you ... for the same money you can buy a really good (as in 'SAFE') Parking Brake setup that works on your driveshaft. It can attach either up at the transfer case output shaft or at the other end (rear diff yoke).

These are a positive mechanical brake that will not slip (when installed correctly) when your truck is at a 40 degree angle up or down a hill. No brake fluid involved.

... just my .02
