Who's truck has a parking brake, who has an emergency break?

LOL...

When I was in tech school years ago, I had an instructor that would dock our grade on the lab work if we ever called it an emergency brake (because there is no such thing in his mind.) To him, an emergency break was what a student would take when they were about to piss thier pants...LOL :B

Parking pawl is to stop the automatic transmission from transferring torque to the driveshaft with engine running in neutral.

.....

Back when I was a teen, I had a job valet parking cars at a swanky restaurant with my co-worker Paul...
He was known as parking Paul.

An interesting post. If you did not consider it all that important, why would you even post? When most of us read a thread we don't consider important, we simply move on without comment.

Parking brake is to keep vehicle from rolling away when parked. If the hydraulic brakes completely fail I would call that an emergency that would warrant using the parking brake to bring the vehicle to a stop.

In the Ford F350 it is a drum in hub/rotor system. The parts are called parking brake shoes, parking brake hardware, etc. How do I know? I just replaced all of that stuff. It is expensive, even if you DIY. Ran me around $600 for all new seals, rotors, calipers, backing plates, shoes and pads. My 2006 had a lot of rust in there!

All of my 4 wheel vehicles have had Parking Brakes.....either foot operated pedal or hand pull operated handles

I have never relied on 'parking pawl' in auto trannies to hold.

I do have faith in leaving in gear (1st gear) on a manual tranny

Regardless of type of tranny habit (drilled into by my DAD) I automatically engage the 'parking brake' device prior to exiting the vehicle
Also find myself out of habit turning front wheel towards curb/side of road if pointing downhill and away from curb if pointing uphill old habit


My motorcycles...center stand if so equipped otherwise side stand in gear

I see you've found the equally popular toilet paper thread, which should meet your importance standards. 😉

I have and posted an equally mundane reply... Thank you.

Really though, there wouldn't be any reason to try to use a line lock to replace a parking brake. They serve two different purposes. Seems like a needless law.

Not necessarily true. My off-road (but "street legal") rig has a home-brew disk brake setup in the rear with no parking brake. So I use a line lock as a short-term "parking brake". Normally, though, parking in gear is sufficient to keep it from rolling away.

My off-road (but "street legal") Samurai has a home-brew disk brake setup in the rear which includes the parking brake with the OEM hand lever. I have no line lock.

You must not be as lazy as I am. 😉

The line lock on the rear is also pretty handy for doing front digs. :B
