Re: Emergency brake knob Reply #28 – September 03, 2012, 10:20:40 am LOL. Especially, if you chock the front and then get a running start and run over it with the back wheels. I was sort of surprised that the chock disintegrated, but then again these things are pretty heavy! ;-) Quote Selected
Re: Emergency brake knob Reply #29 – September 03, 2012, 10:35:23 am Pierce,On the MCI DD3 brakes always stopped nice, but not locking correctly, so I ordered two re-man units from Greyhound, that solved all the above. The main issue for me, I would have replaced them both but the small size of the DD3, there was not enough room to install the standard parking brake chamber for that was a lot cheaper route, but stayed with the original setup.The combo for starting switch positions was not normal where one would guess.Everything about the MCI was a learning experience, so much very close to the GM series, just different, but educational.Still miss the ole MCI, but as I am too rigid to crawl around and under it, I had to go with the next best choice, so why I go to Nac, FOT, MOT and Xtreme. My days of knees, elbows and sliding under are just a fond memory.Dave M Quote Selected
