Heck, the brakes can barely stop an ET with the motor OFF.  <g>

Actually since I installed Bill Gunn's brake upgrade mine are much 
improved. 
 I recommend it without reservation.  However, it doesn't make the parking 
brake 100% reliable.  The PB isn't like a car's; it has no ratchet.  
Either 
it holds or it doesn't.  I still chock the wheels when parked on slopes.
