Re: [MV] Why air over hydraulic brakes?

well, since you can buy the trailers for $100 or less just buy another
one for parts/tires for your truck!!!!
as to the system in general, gas motors under high output don't have
much manifold vacuum for brake systems. most diesels have no manifold
vacuun at all. with air alone your brakes lock up if you loose air ( bad
if someone is shooting at you ) with air over hydraulic you have a great
amount of boost and still have some brakes with very low or even no air.
