The transmission brake is a great brake for your pickup, if it will hold a 20,000 pound big truck it should have no problem holding a 3,500 pound pickup!

I see what you mean. I didn't think about the closed in drive line. I was just thinking about the extra hole in the floor for the parking brake. I should have just kept quiet as I know nothing about torque tube set-ups. Never mind.
