Ebrake Normal Op's

Post by paintballrocker »

Nothing wrong with the ebrake this time (thankfully) just curious as to how the ebrake operates on our trucks. ive tried searching google but couldnt find much. i know the rear is operated by the cable, just wondering how the front is? i dont see any cables going to it, so it just a special valve that puts brake fluid into the calipers when the ebrake pedal is pressed? just trying to understand our trucks a little bit more!

The rear brakes are the only one activated while applying the emergency brake.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid people who do not ask questions.
