Sandcobra,you sound like a very intelligent person but you missed the point,I'm not replacing the E brake I'm adding 2 pinion brakes and leaving the stock brakes.It has nothing to do with monster trucks.I don't care how much it costs or how long they last ,it's just a toy.I'm sorry I posted on...

I've never tested the brake on a loaded truck on a hill.However my truck will hold on a steep road when I have to open my gate,but it only weight about 11000 lbs.I do lock the difference and put it in 4x4.

I posted to get peoples opinion on the subject, I got a lot of different ideas but nobody seems to know for sure.If you don't want discussion then don't reply!

Man when you guys hijack a thread you don't mess around.I'm gonna try the pinion brakes and report back on the results, cause it seems like nobody knows for sure.I thank you all for the imput.

Thank you for your input those were good reasons not to run pinion brakes,I wish I had that info before my purchase.

I didn't see the second part of your question, and I don't really care if they are legal or not.

Yes I read all the posts and nobody give a good reason not to.

Hey you guys are all negative about pinion brakes,but nobody gave me a good reason not to put them on.I understand with open different and only pinion brakes that could be dangerous, but with 6 brakes on a bobbed deuce with 2 arb air lockers I can't see a problem.

Thanks to all for your input.I figure 2 extra brakes can't hurt,but I guess I'll find out,besides they look cool.

Thanks for your reply ODFEVER.I already have it restored and painted with my unit insignia on it,I would just like to play with it.They are very cool vehicles, but nobody understands them.

I'm sorry I haven't checked on this thread,I didn't think I would get a reply.I'm just trying to make it better riding, and just to have a project.it's a m422a1,ground up rebuild and just fun to drive and brag about.I drove one in viet Nam and really enjoyed it.

Well it looks like this forum is dead!

I am trying to lighten the MM by replacing the leaf springs with fiberglass ones,does anybody have any ideas or suggestions on this?I was going to try coil overs,but it would require modification of the mounts and I don't want to permanently modify. I have the mite under 1500 lbs now and it...

Thank you NDT that is what I was afraid of,I think I'm gonna try some silicone before I pull the motor apart.

Can anybody advice on easy fix for push rod leak,and the fan is blowing it through the fins onto the exhaust.It's a new rebuilt motor and I don't want to take it apart.Thank you if you can help.
