Brake Guards (was Ethanol Wars)

[emerystora]

Are these the same Brake Guatds that the FTC sued the company for false advertising and untrue claims way back in 1995?https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/1998/01/ftc-upholds-charges-against-brake-guard-add-brakes-are-not-abs

I haven’t heard much about them lately except for people removing them and transferring them to the trash bin. Good luck trying to sell them to the GMC community. I think it’ll be an uphill sell. Maybe you should try eBay or Craig’s list. They’ll buy anything.

Emery,
I am with you on the “Brake Guards”. I have a pair that I took off the stretch coach in 2011 when I bought it. They are true FAKE NEWSI think that I might still have them in the storage cabinet. Anyone that wants them can have them for postage. I won’t be back in Michigan till mid April if anyone can wait.

Purely tongue in cheek. I figure if you're interested in the high mileage carb you're a potential customer

The scam was two POs back who bought the things.

When I was parts mgr for Lazy Days, had a company wanting us to be a dealer for them. [Not sure it was brake guards but same type device]
They did the installation on an out of warranty Bounder with a p-30 chevy chassis.
Basicly they are spring loaded air chambers that compress during braking to avoid lock up
Several of us drove the coach for an evaluation.
P30 chassis did tend to lock up the brakes in a panic stop- and these did reduce that. However it came at the cost of a very mushy pedal and increased
pedal travel, much like having air in the lines or misadjusted brake drums.
Our conclusion was people would be better off learning to modulate the brakes themselves.
The potential liability issue was a deal killer
I may still have them in storage
