Well when it comes to JUICE brakes on OLD 1 1/2 - 2 ton trucks they can be a night mare . Myself i have worked on them for many MOONS . And it all comes down to the fact they are a pain in the drain. Many people have experienced the NO brakes or they could not stop . And the parking brake is NOT a emergences panic brake , as i have seen them sheared off when someone has tried to use it , you even lucky if the will hold a loaded truck on a hill. So where do you start to FIX the brakes on and old truck that has been sitting ????? Ya start at the brake pedal and you rebuild replace EVERYTHING . And when you get to the wheels you will more then likely discover the bake adjusters are FROZEN SOLID and someone has tried to FORCE them only to shear off the star wheel . You will find dual cylinders on all wheels along with dual adjusters and these old brakes are NON self adjusting and olearning how to adjust them correctly has become a lost art . On these OLD systems when you start to have to PUMP the brake pedal your brakes need adjustment . Old Farm trucks that set are always a nightmare with brakes , like said above frozen brake adjuster and not being able to adjust , and the first thing you here from people is the Hydrovac is your problem Nope it is JUSt BRAKE ADJUSTMENT . Newer 1 1/2 -2 ton's with JUICE brakes now come with a dual system , some are even disc. A lot better then the old systems . Myself if it does not have AIR brakes i don't want it , i will not own it . And they have to be a S cam brake , No wedge loc or stop master style .
