Supposedly a failure of some sort lead to total loss of power and brakes.That GX looks heavy...
Supposedly a failure of some sort lead to total loss of power and brakes.
Definitely looks heavy. Any ideas on what could lead to a failure like this? The failure itself seems uncommon to my knowledge.Right. Just saying, it looks very heavy.
A lot of weight, extra load drivetrain, potential stall situation driving up the gate. Just a possibility.
Either way, could have been a lot worse. Glad no one was seriously injured.
I’m pretty tuned in to the 100 brake failure phenomenon because I drive a lx470. That issue doesn’t seem to present with concomitant stalling if memory serves.There’s a total brake failure poll/discussion on the 100 forums
I thought that the BMC in our trucks was electric assist and wasn't dependent on the engine vacuum. If I'm not wrong how could his brakes have just gone out like that since they would still assist even when the engine died?
Exactly. Thats one of the main advantages of having an electrically actuated master. The brake system can still fail and it may have in this case but not because the engine stalled.
Damn! You can tell that just from watching the video? I'm gonna have to get you to buy my next used car for me. lolSeems like a well maintained and serviced gx470

Not from watching the video, but by looking at the upgrades on that rig. Most people who have money to build up their rigs like that with a nice rear bumper, roof rack, lift, tires, etc. will not skimp on maintenance. At least, that’s what I’ve observed.
