Can't help with the driveline brake supplier, but I can say I hate those things. I was soooooo happy when hummers switched to an integrated parking brake on the rear calipers. Brakes belong at the wheel.
Darker than your average wheeler!!!!
Well, they never really worked for shit. If you adjusted the brake to actually work, the cable would just stretch. Then the drivers would take off with the brake still on. Then hot chunks of metal would fly off and melt the plastic fuel tank. Then I'd have to fix it all. Don't even get me started on the glow plugs..... BTW - Hummers don't have "park", only neutral.
Integrated parking brakes are the way to go. Even a line lock. No matter which you choose, none of them ever should be trusted.

Basically it's where a valve is installed on your brakeline. Then you pump the brake and close the valve. The pressure is "locked" in the line and the brakes stay applied.
This setup is used on some forklifts and stuff. Race cars use them too to lock the front wheels so they can get a hard launch. They typically use electric line locks with a switch on the shifter.
The 4 wheelers use them so they can lock one tire to make tight turns.
The only problem is the pressure can bleed off.

you don't want to use a line lock for a parking brake... they are electric and draw on the battery.... what you want is called a lev-r-lock.... thay usually mount on the dash, it plumbs in to the rear brake lines and basically is a lever operated valve... in one position the brakes work normal, flip the lever and pump the brakes and they hold the rear brakes on... work great as long as you don't have leaks
