Avoidable runaway

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

You ninja'd me! You ninja mother..

And I properly used the emergency brake, had my 4 ways on and tucked in my mirrors.

Runner!

And how do you not know how to adjust the brake? It's that long black throbbing rod . Grip it , some require two hands and turn it. Turn it until it gets super hard. Once it gets nice and hard push into it. If you ride into it and it stays rock hard then your good.

@bbsam has one of these brakes. Maybe he can help.

They didnt tell us that i went to intergrad with 4 other drivers they didnt find out till after my accident so now they and i took the ultimate loss we were taught the "Ninja Method" at intergrad and other drivers at our center said the same thing so the union was surprised that i lost the battle so i just came here for a little feedback and spread a little knowledge to fellow upsers

So you didn’t have enough common sense to tell that the e-brake was loose? That shouldn’t have to be taught to you. You were driving for eight months prior. That’s enough time to figure out if a brake is loose or not. Assuming you didn’t know how to tighten it, the “wet noodle” should have been caught in the pretrip, at which time you say, “Hey sup, this brake feels loose. What do I do about this?”

 

[OrioN]

"Ninja method" bro.

Is this and mother ship new terms in integrad or wuz he pulling our legs?

 

[Mugarolla]

Integrad. Good luck.

That's why the OP wasn't trained on how to keep the E-brake tight....

He went to Intergrad instead of Integrad.

Mystery solved...

@1BROWNWRENCH

Hopefully you are better at being a mechanic than quoting...

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Wha?! I snap that bugger down every time

And it probably falls off completely between PMIs.

Way better. At least I knew it was coming out wrong!

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

I did the mechanic and telematics tells that

Lol.

 

[DumbTruckDriver]

Lol.

Isn’t that how you get the telematics report?

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

There is no telematic connection on the park brake or transmission whatsoever except for reverse on a manual package car.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Telematics WILL report if you have been dynamiting the brakes on the the newer PCs.

We are supposed to engage the brake and then test it by putting the tranny in the lowest forward gear to see if it holds.
This method of testing the e-brake hasnt changed for decades.

Don’t stop now. Flattery will get you everything. At least as much as you can handle.

Ninja method? Mothership? Dynamite the brakes? I have no idea what's going on in here
