VERY FORTUNATE THAT OTHER DRIVERS WERE ABLE TO AVOID A TRUCK SKIDDING TO A STOP ON THE FREEWAY. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF FOR FIVE MINUTES SEEMS TO ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO FUNCTION AGAIN TEMPORARILY. DEALERSHIP REPORTS "LEAKING HYDROBOOST" UNIT IS THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE OF THIS PART IN OUR 15 TRUCK FLEET, ALTHOUGH THE EARLIER FAILURE DID NOT CAUSE BRAKE LOCK-UP. *TR
