Derrico Posted January 30, 2025 Share Posted January 30, 2025 I did not take a picture of the parking brake on my B20 before I took it apart. I had the band relined by Specialty Brake in Florida. They did a nice job. Now I am putting it back and cannot figure it out. Does anybody have a picture of how it goes back together? I am at a loss!

tjc transport Posted January 30, 2025 Share Posted January 30, 2025 i dont remember reading it but does you B20 have air brakes, or juice brakes? 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

tjc transport Posted January 31, 2025 Share Posted January 31, 2025 oh well, i was going to suggest upgrading to dual chamber brake pots for air parking brake......if you had air brakes. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Geoff Weeks Posted January 31, 2025 Share Posted January 31, 2025 With good lining (his is new) and proper adjustment, they do fairly well, not as good as "tru-stop" but can lock the rear wheels, just hard on driveshafts and U joints. if you apply while moving. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75095-need-help-parking-brake-b20/#findComment-568227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith S Posted February 2, 2025 Share Posted February 2, 2025 The main stress point of a mechanical, band parking brake is its mounting post - especially if the truck is moving. The engine exerts more torque on the drivetrain. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75095-need-help-parking-brake-b20/#findComment-568396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted February 2, 2025 Share Posted February 2, 2025 (edited) I was refering to shock loads where the wheels may lock intermittently, However, I don't know of many engines that will spin the rear wheels of a truck at 20 mph on pavement either, so I don't think you assumptions are correct.
