Default Just the facts please

FYI - While American Brake and Steering is touting these designs as "new", take a good close look and you will see that these systems are indeed nothing more than the infamous Powermaster systems of the late eighties / early nineties reconfigured. Ask any GN guy what he thinks of his "Powerdisaster" system, and you'll likely get a cold response every time. The OEM's played around with this system for a few years, then dumped it for its reliability issues. Just trying to find any service parts for these types of systems is impossible these days too.

The concept IS cool, what with being able to mount the compressor assembly remotely, though the MC assist valving issues, and the compressor and high pressure switch issues that plagued the designs in the first place are definitely still there...
