He's just an asshole...not worth a response. I was just tweaking him a bit. In case you didn't notice, he's quite tweakable. He just doesn't have the will power, that you do, to resist responding. |

Most vehicles in his class have a 1000 lb tow rating without sup. brakes. |

Thank you very much. Your lack of same leads you to be a menace on the highways. |

And maintain them. Electric over hydraulic is the best. My boat trailer is 6 years old, and the UFP brakes still work great. Only problem in last year was a fluid leak. Was at a brake line joint, and the connector had some crap in the threads. |
