R1 whats the Front axle lock for if not parking?

 

Also this may have already been asked but is that really a manual PRV?

My immediate first thought on this rig was that it looks like the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree of Fire Engines. Poor thing.

I believe it can be used for parking as a secondary brake. The 98' Smeals had them, the ALFs did not.


I also think the PRV is manual. The Macks had them, a PRV with spring.


I know we went less tech and back to mechanical on a bunch of things. I haven't got to look closely at the Ferraras yet, just saw on runs with them. I will inquire.

I was also impressed in how quiet the Cummins diesel runs.

I just did that two days ago. Rookie cleaned the inside and switched off the lights. I hit the master but everything else was off.
