[QUOTE="dragracer66, post: 139681, member: 5175"] It's got nothing to do with saving money!!! The transmissions we use are designed to have a hand brake setup, except for the ford P-10's they have a totally different setup. Even if the e-brake was on the wheel's it still would'nt stop a loaded moving truck. I'll bet when they take it apart they will probably find brake shoes are real low,and when that happen's the wheel cylinders pop out and then brake fluid pour's out thus resulting in a loss of a brake pedal. If it was rear disc's same thing the pad's were way low and on brake application the piston's in the calipers popped out and fluid escaped thus resulting in no to low pedal. If this truck wasn't wriiten up for any kind of brake grinding in the dvir book prior to the accident they may go after the driver. [/QUOTE]
