Why this HTML Document Reprint?
The original Technician Guidelines for Antilock
Braking Systems Air-Braked Trucks, Tractors and Trailers government
document, FHWA-MC-98-008 is only available in Adobe Acrobat Reader
(PDF) file format. We here at Truck Troubles dot Com find this
document to have immense value for truck repair technicians.
Because many truck repair technicians do not have
access to their own personal computer, they can not install the
required PDF file viewer on the system they use to access the
internet. Also, when using slow modem connections to the internet,
this HTML format also enables much quicker access to the information
because these HTML files are significantly smaller to retrieve
for viewing than the original PDF file.
By converting this document into HTML, all persons
who browse the internet, now have quicker access to this very
valuable document. In the conversion process, some very minor
wording changes have been implemented to support the HTML requirements.
Overall, this HTML reprint of the document is extremely close
to the original document. Any of these minor differences will
not materially affect the user of this reprint document. If you
