[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 468540, member: 18471"] Light constant application is better than- hard application then letting off-then hard application again, etc. The hard applications generate more heat but the brakes don't have enough time to cool off while they are released. (not that the oxygen would get in and cause a fire, the heat generated and any grease on brake components is what burns.) Brakes fade when the build up too much heat. Some trucks have brake application gauges, I was told no more than 10lbs, which isn't much more than enough to light the brake lights. We don't have those type of grades in the northeast and so it's not mentioned here. [/QUOTE]
