Interesting conversation with Praise Dyno Brake - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**ThreeQuarter** · 08-01-2002, 05:36 PM

Just got off the phone with John Ambrose of Praise Dyno Brake in Royse City, Texas. He's the guy in charge where they make 68Suburban's Kevlar brake shoes. I called to tell him that I'd be driving through the area tomorrow and would like to drop in and see his products, and talk about a setup for my pickup. The converstaion lasted a few minutes (3:24 to be exact) but here's the 30-second condensed version:

Ben: I'm Ben, and I heard about your brakes from a guy named Chris in AZ, who I believe is on your website with a testimonial.
John: Yeah.
Ben: Well, I'm driving past your place tomorrow on my way home and was wondering if I could drop by and see your products and maybe get a better feel for the different types of kits you offer for my pickup.
John: Well, we won't be able to get you through.
Ben: That's OK, I don't need to have a tour of the plant or anything, I just want to chat with you about your products and maybe talk about prices for a kit for my pickup.
John: Well, you know we have a government contract for the Hummer, and we can't let you through the gate. Even the UPS guys have to be classified since Sept. 11.
Ben: Oh...well I guess I'll just call back when I get closer to needing them. Thanks!

So, I figure their products are probably something special if they go on military applications of the Hummer. longhornmail or anybody else have experience with these things in military motorpool?

And now that I know I can't see it, I really want to see the plant!

lol... I did not know his set up was all that.

I know we didn't get tehm on our Hummers...the pads would only last a few thousand miles.

I guess that is why the government contracted for the Kevlars

Amazing how secure the parts Mfg. are and you can get a weapon past the screeners 42% of the time at LAX .

Reminds me for the guys at CCP who do the rear disc kits. When I asked what disc's they used, he said theres, and when I asked if he sold the parts for the convertions, like the brakets or hoses, he said you buy the kit or nothing. Like I'm going to spend $600 for 2 $40 discs, 2 $50 calipers, and $400 for the mounts.

Ok, I guess I don't understand the comparison
