Always big fun to climb on the brakes and know you can stop !! they worry about disc brakes all the time, my 51 6400 made into a 98 inch wheelbase pickup has plenty of brakes. It is pretty happy at 50 MPH on good roads has 8.25x 20 with 4 and 2 speed axle.
The midland is working pretty well. The power piston moves free on the bench, might be a problem in the control circuit - the cost for proper rebuild kit, the acceptable function of the midland has killed my interest in messing with it more. I don’t expect that even if it was in proper working order any improvement to braking power.
