When I am excited about something, everyone knows it. I just can't be quiet about it.
We left the swamps of Louisiana in the rain this morning and arrived home 403 miles later.
My tracking system did not work but my reaction arm disc brakes did. I think those brakes work better every time I hit the pedal. I am thankful to Chuck for the idea. I know what good rear drum brakes will do, I had them twice. But, they can not compare to what this system does. Ask Teri. I came up on a place and decided to stop and turn, dropping from 60 mph to 0 in about 200 feet, now that is my estimate. Maybe it was 400 ft. Anyway these things are great. Our coach stops like a car, even with the Vibe behind it and no toad brake. For folks that use their GMC like Teri and I do, this is something you need to look into. I know they are expensive but I have to say that this has got to be the best and safest thing we have done for our coach. I never planned to do this mod until I rode through El Paso with no rear brakes for the second December in a row. That will not happen again. I can now throw anything Teri puts on the bed into the floor. This is good as is life.
Just had to hollar this out.
