My new Momentum has disc brakes. The difference is HUGE!
I will never go back to drums. They are 1950s technology.
A relic of the past. And I will note, that you cannot get parts for them at Autozone either.
The calipers are all based on old GM designs for Kodiak/Titan brakes. If those are who make the ones on your Momentum, you certainly can at least get all caliper components (including entire calipers, pins, seals and pads) from Autozone/NAPA/Oreilly/etc. But you have to use a cross-reference and not just tell them they're for a GD Momentum...
Other parts, like the hub assemblies, especially if integrated on your particular model, and the controller/pump assembly, aren't going to be stocked. But those are probably less likely to require rushed parts for maintenance/repair.
I may have something different than what you are thinking of.
My 8000# Dexter axles have Dexter 4 piston calipers. They are not the sliding design. They bolt on to the axles as a solid one piece unit.
Sounds nice. Titan/Kodiak are big for aftermarket. Dexter bought them a couple years ago, but looks like they're separate product lines for now. Maybe if Dexter continues to produce the ones you have, increased adoption will drive increased parts info/availability.
