Can Air Force One Brake System Be Used with 2023 Chevy Equinox Electric Brake Assist

Question:

I Have a 2023 Chevrolet Equinox Premier and I’d like to know if you have an Air Force One Air Brake System that works with electric Brake assist, no vacuum connectors? I’m looking at the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink - Air Brakes - Proportional. What are my options and your suggestions?

Thanks for reaching out!

The Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink # DM26VR will work great with your 2023 Chevy Equinox even if it utilizes an electric brake assist.

The instructions call out on page 19 what you need to do if you have electric assist brakes. If you need to disconnect the battery for flat towing your vehicle you'll refer to page 22 of the instructions, otherwise you'll plug off the vacuum port only and keep the exhaust port open. (see attached image)

According to the online owner's manual for your Equinox you will keep the battery connected but a Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 is required to keep your battery from being drained.
