Brakes on 2018 Allegro Bus?

[heathtx]

I know the front axle has disc brakes, but I cannot find any spec infor for the rear brakes. Are they disc or drum?

Thanks for your help,

I'm pretty sure they are drum brakes. At least the ones on my Power Glide chassis are.

From the 2017 Bus/Phaeton Power Glide manual:
 Front brakes are 17” air applied disc
 Rear brakes (Figure 3-1) double as parking brake
Park brakes are spring applied – air released
Two large 16.5 x 7” drum brakes
Park brake remains applied even if air pressure is lost
 If air pressure is lost
A buzzer and warning lamp will alert you
 Chassis is equipped with automatic slack adjusters

Lt Dan,

I think so too, was hoping the rears were disc, but I know drums are more predominate because of parking brake use.

We are looking at a 2018 AB and thinking about also delaying a year. I have about the possibility of a new floorplan coming to the 40' Allegro Bus. If it's true so we will delay until 2019.

Thanks for your reply. We're in Rockwall county, you?

There is rumor the 40IH Phaeton floor plan is coming to a Bus, but time will tell.

We're in Hurst, Tarrant County.
