A few times I have had the truck messed with and I am afraid they will release the park brake. Anyone have a easy solution to putting a lock on the brake?
thank you

That is true but then they could push in the "Spring Brake Override" button and have a rolling vehicle with no brakes.Leave the front red gladhand open. Then it won't matter where the parking brake handle is because there will not be any air in the system to release the spring brakes.
That won't happen if there is no air in the tanks.That is true but then they could push in the "Spring Brake Override" button and have a rolling vehicle with no brakes.![]()
NoIf all 4 tanks are drained can the "Spring Brake Override" button release the brakes?

The more I think about this, what I said may not be entirely true. It is possible (I did not confirm) that the emergency gladhand at the front will only drain the wet tank and leave the others full. This may allow for the spring brake override to still function.Leave all the drain valves open on the passenger side step. All 4 tanks will be drained. Then it won't matter is the handle is kicked down or not.

Swamp Donkey's solution is better. Open all the drains and ensure that there is no air in the truck at all. Then one could be sure that the spring brake override button would not disengage the spring brakes.
just the mounting area.Is the pic just showing the e brake or it installed on it? Hard to see. thank you
