Default well.....

can we say kaboom? i went thru mid 6th floored and when i let off, i applied the brakes. and there were none. i mean the pedal was stuck. and it wouldnt budge. and to make matters worse, the freeway is bran new. and it was about to dead end. so i didnt have the option to run it out. i had to down shift. drop to 5th, not fast enough. drop to 4th, still going really fast. then i went to third and it hit the rev limiter. and blew the fock outta my tranny. and i had a huge cloud of smoke proboly 30 sq feet around my truck when i finally stopped.

and at that time i hear a nice knocking noise from below my truck.
peice of **** truck. i guess its time for a new braking system and the slp 402 engine package.

700 hp here i come.

I'd have suggested a track or somewhere with more run off room.

What's at the end of the freeway? A cliff?

Still I would have slowly used the ebrake..
