M&G brake system

[Pete Masterson]

Gardner,

The more I study the issue, the more I'm leaning toward the SMI. I'm
also reluctant to mess with the air brake system.

Hopefully, I'll be able to install the SMI myself ... but working
under the hood of a modern car isn't a thrilling adventure to me.
Since I'll also have to install an oil pump for the transmission (so
I can tow four down), I may try to find a mechanic to do both at the
same time. Don't know if that will generate any savings... or not.

(The only reason I've delayed setting up my car, etc. is that we're
in the process of preparing our house for sale. As my dear wife says,
"Finally, we have the house looking great ... then we sell it..."
<sigh>)
