How to Use a Demco Air Force One Braking System on a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban with Hydro-Boost
Question:
I am trying to setup flat tow of 1999 k2500 Suburban that has Hydro Boost on it. When rolling down the road I place in neutral then shut off engine and the brakes are basically non-existent. I have ordered all the parts using the Demco AF1 and Blue Ox Apollo TB /base plate. Given this situation how does one get normal braking capabilities with the engine off so it functions as if the engine is running?

Expert Reply:
The Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # DM23MV that you have comes with a kit specifically for vehicles with Hydro-Boost, like your 1999 Chevrolet Suburban. So you just need to install the system using that included kit.
I have included a link to the instructions manual and a picture of the hydro-boost section of the manual here.
