A truck with hydraulic disc/drum brakes makes severe hard brake applications and experiences brake fade, but does not experience brake fade on repetitive light brake applications. Technician A says this could be caused by an improperly adjusted proportioning valve. Technician B says brake drums worn or machined beyond the maximum diameter could cause this condition. Who is right?
