Automatic slack adjusters help, but only to an extent. personally, I like discs.

Have you ever drove a 6 x 4 with disc on all 6? I am a field test technician for Meritor. Once you have experienced the stopping power, you will never want to go back to drums.

I still have the single master 4 wheel drum set up on my 64 and when they are adjusted up, it stops pretty decent. I don't put myself in a panic stop situation with it and don't put many miles on it so it does fine.
