The emergency brake is another alternative i forgot that might stop you. But this seems to not work very well with anyone it seems? mine does not seem to hold very well. jamming it in park at 10 miles per hour is out off list. I had a vacuum hose pulled off under the trans that is why it stayed in 2nd gear at one time. I did not know anything about the vacuum to the trans. That was later discovered in time with lots of questions. This vacuum deal with the gmc is a big deal. This was the computer of the early 70's. ??? or not. Any help on the dymaxion idea to make this design work would be a great help. How to stop the gmc when the motor stops? how to always have gas on any road level? How to have the vacuum working the longest time possible?
I will keep searching the archives. thank you.
stopping is more important than going. If you drive these hills, you would know why it is a big deal. they are so steep and deep canyons a fire truck went off of them last year and the two in the cab died. It is like a paved mule path down the grand canyon. I just ordered new back springs from JimK, for all four back brakes. They tend to fall off sometimes. I am leaning to the vacuum tank now.It seems at high rpm or heavy lifting with the motor these vacuum hoses blow off, like it did for my trans and robs up hill event. How do you get them to stay on with high rpm.
