James leave room on soapbox for me please.
If a "army truck" is involved in an accident; once is it determined that
this truck is not owned by the "army", you can be sure that the other people
in accident with you will think you are some kind of "nut" for owning "army"
truck. And facts not withstanding it will be "your fault". Better to keep
all the bases covered.

both be working before they are driven on public roads.
End result of the little fictional story is you are at fault 100%
because of "DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT".
Besides if everything with the air system is correct an M-35A2
will shut off the low air buzzer in less than 120 seconds
average.......................think about it guys don't YOU want to know
before you hit the brake pedal you are losing your air pressure reserve??
I will NOT leave my soapbox on this....it's just too damn important.""""""""
Further my limited experience with "mil veh" that have "air" assisted
braking, and I have more than one, all had lights and buzzers when I got
them from military. I will agree that they did not all work, but were on
the vehciles. Of course I do not think I ever had one that was less than 30
years old when I got them.
