Title: M&G Brake update
Post by: jmblake on June 26, 2011, 07:30:40 PM
I ordered my M&G air brake system about 2 weeks ago for my truck that we will be using for our toad, and I received it 4 days later, I just got it installed over the weekend and it took me about 3 hours to install on the truck and to run and hook up the lines on the bus. Overall it wasn't to bad I did it myself and just followed the instructions, It seams like a very good system, I would defiantly buy again. I didn't get to test it out behind the bus yet but I will do that this week. Just wanted to let every one know how I liked the product and I would re comend  it to anyone considering a braking system for there toad. Jason

That,s the way my luck goes, After this winters fiasco with putting the Allison in the bus what else would I expect.

Jason;
Did you get the brake away system with it also. If so was it as easy to install?

Dave5c, yes I got the break away and it was easy to install also, just a small tank and valve assembly and the switch.
Ed, It came recomended by some good members on here before I bought one.

Jason,
    I tested the break-a-way feature on our Grand Cherokee anfter installation by pressurizing the tank and temporarily installing a toggle switch with a wire run thru the drivers window.  45-50 MPH down the road in front of our house, shift into neutral, very light grip on wheel and hit the switch. I got 3 straight firm stops before I used up all the pressure in the reservoir.  We have had our M&G for about 6-7 years and are very pleased with it.  Jack
