Nov 1, 2025Service brakes Brakes always collapse to the Floor. You cannot stick your toe in between the brake and the floorboard. But if you pump up the brakes like you used in the 1970''s the brake will rise and you can put a full foot underneath between the brake and the floorboard. Those making the brakes stop the truck 80%better. But if you put it in 4x4 mode there is almost no stopping power at all. You only have 10% of your brakes. Both issues can cause death and or injuries! If 4x4 is used on the road for rain or snow it will cause death and if your lucky just a major injury!!!!!!
