Re: Rear Brakes

I hear the old timers talk a lot about this. If it's not broke don't fix it. Now I hear that when you tow with a 5Th wheel they do wonders if you're Hauling a load down the rocky mountains your towing 2-3 tons of weight Ya I like that. The problem I'm seen with disc brakes you hit a deep puddle of water your disc brakes are useless. If you live on a high hill and you use the E brake a lot you don't have it do always rely on the park in your transmission. Them thing seem to have a mind of there own with a lot of weight on the parking Tab in your Transmission. They tend to pop out of Gear then your truck leaves on it own. It happens to me on my th350 and the Power Glide. But your Kid needs to learn how to do rear brakes that is the point of having an old truck. If you wanted it to be a Brand new truck buy him a New truck.
