Still wondering if the Bounder is gas or diesel. Makes a huge difference since most diesel models don't use the poorly designed Chevy type parking brake.
Depends what you call Chevy type and DP's certainty do use a default automatic parking brake. Difference being that they use air for releasing it, rather than a hydraulic pump. Chevy and WH have a high failure rate with one of it's pressure switches in the version III model and why you might be labeling it as a poor design.
Then again, I have no idea of your knowledge about the system itself, it's elect./mech. design properties, it's development history or why it was implemented in the first place.
While we're here, auto park chassis owners should know that there is a better pressure sw. to replace the infamous GM RGS out there now and I believe being marketed by Brazel's.
Still with a little knowledge of the system and given the Amazon price on the green or brown replacements, it's not a big deal and many change it out, every 15K miles or so, to prevent failure at an inopportune time. I does help with knowing what you're doing, along with having some education on the system, however.
