I was pulling a trailer with my 69 GMC when the drum brakes faded out on me. I went through a busy intersection with both feet standing on the pedal as hard as I could. after that, I bought a front disc conversion kit. Disc brakes are far superior to drums. I used to be a pilot back in my younger days, and I've never once seen an aircraft equipped with drum brakes. You don't see Boeing trying to stop a 500,000 pound airliner with drums.
