I'm not touching the brakes on the GMC as far as modification....I LIKE my parking brake. Now...the 1977 XLCH Sportster.....trashed the stock set up for WILWOOD, 4-piston/fixed calipers, rear mounted up front with HEL S/S lines and 1997 FLH M/C that was a BREMBO brake option. WILWOOD 4-piston/fixed caliper ont back in place of the mechanical drum. Trust me...those are BETTER. Not all that convinced about brake upgrades for the GMC. I don't drive it more than 60 or 65 mph....if I want to go fast I can do 0-60 in 4 sec and 145 on the far end on the BMW.

Product liability has nothing to do with it.

My question was not that simplistic as switching out shoes or disks. The question was: Will a carrier cover your coach if you change out the approved brake system with one developed by a nonrecognized source. When you switch out systems who assumes the risk? The insurance company? You? The person who sold them to you and/or installed them? Or the person you ran into? or he/she that ran into you. In a claim, the carrier will check out the systems. They are looking for anyway out of the claim. Hit a small import or subcompact with a GMC MH and there is going to be major damage.

This sort of gets to the bottom of any modifications. If you trust the safety of your family for what you did, then you should be prepared to explain the validity of that mod to your insurance company. If not, you probably took a chance and lost big time. I will not modify my brake system no matter how attractive the benefits may seem on the surface. Validation of a braking system under all possible circumstances is not what an individual can do. I'm not a purist by any means when it comes to modifications, but be prepared to defend yourself.
