It may be the air brake issue posted late last night. .

Can't remember the model, Don't think it was a Beaver, but when air pressure get's too low watch out..

for Rigs that have Air brakes then they will slip and not brake properly, right? Do all DP have Air Braking?

I like to play along and participate spamming the board. ;D

Not correct. If the air pressure falls too low, huge springs will apply the rear brakes and stop all movement. In essence, the emergency/parking brakes gets applied.

A few diesel pushers have been built with air-over-hydraulic brakes rather than air-only. In that type of system, the brakes themselves are hydraulic and the air pressure acts as a power assist. Losing air in that type of system means you need a really heavy foot on the brake pedal to get any significant braking action.
