    Welcome from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Follow the advise already given; read the Operators Manual and assess your mechanical abilities. Recoveries are fun but can be a real pain in the tail if something goes south. Have fun. JC

    HELP!! New Member: Stranded in North County (Poway Area) with Brake problem.

    Just spoke with his brother(ph # listed in post #1). He has a fleet service headed his way. Truck started out OK, then brake(s) started dragging. Does the A2 have wedge brakes? Also had the override pulled out? -and caged the suspect brake. JC
