Dear SAlexander:

That's what I've decided to do as well. In almost every case, a driver knows if his brakes are going bad (soft pedal, hydraulic fluid on the inside of the tires, and--of course--that squealing sound when the linings are getting too thin).

I value and appreciate your input.

Paul

I recall that light should go on before you start the motor then go out when running, a safety check thing that lets you know the braking system is ok, state inspection might pick up on that and fail you.

They didn't in February. Who the heck knows what a 36 y.o. truck's brake light should do?

My friend years ago had a 454 chebbie motor in a 71 F250 back when we had to do smog in Kali, a Chinese smog station asked us 390? Yup it's a 390 and it passed smog. They're up on the new plastic throw away cars, Rolling Tampons
I call 'em, use 'em once.
