Blue88Comanche Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 because i was bored at work i read an article about drum brakes when i found this under "advantages" Certain heavier duty drum brake systems compensate for load when determining wheel cylinder pressure; a feature unavailable when disks are employed. One such vehicle is the Jeep Comanche. The Comanche can automatically send more pressure to the rear drums depending on the size of the load, whereas this would not be possible with disks.
mvusse Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 But I do not see how this would not be possible with disc brakes.
87Warrior Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 But I do not see how this would not be possible with disc brakes. Yeah. I don't get what they are saying here. Disc or drum, the MJ load valve will operate the same way.
HOrnbrod Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Yeah. I don't get what they are saying here. Disc or drum, the MJ load valve will operate the same way. As it does on most every pickup manufactured in the last 20 years be it disks or drums. OP, how about you provide a link from where you gleaned this uh "reference" from Wikipedia.
carnuck Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 The level sensor wouldn't work right with disc brakes. It would release them too much

You mean a link to the post on Wikipedia? Just click the orignal quote it is a link.
