Title: Bendix brake school?
Post by: John316 on May 19, 2011, 10:31:38 AM
Has anybody ever attended the three day Bendix brake school? If so what was it like?

I am looking at heading out to one of them, and wonder if anybody had been to one.

Clifford, have you been to one?

Thanks,

John

Yep John well worth the money the manuals are worth the admission lol but they don't cover the DD-3 in great detail as they no longer support the system but ask and he will answer 


good luck

Since Capitol Clutch and Brake was mentioned, I'll add that they are a very good place to do business as they are very knowledgable about their products, something that you don't get at the FleetPride type stores. You might pay more, but the product knowledge and support are well worth it.
