>Gardner, I have one of the M & G systems on my 2002 GMC Denali that
I used to pull behind my 99 LXi-43. The device worked very well, I
was able to install it into the truck myself, but did have to get my
chassis shop to hook up the airline. Someone noticed that I had used
a female end on the MH, and a male end on the truck, and suggested
that I should have used a female end on the truck too, to prevent
moisture, dust, etc from getting into the line. I made that change,
and it seemed to work pretty well. The brakes on a 99 were still
drum, so stopping distances were still not real good, but I could
certainly tell the M & G system was working.
