Question:

Do you know if this braking system will still work if the Vacuum line isnt tapped in and hooked up to my 2022 Jeep Gladiator?

Depending on the type of brake-assist that your 2022 Jeep Gladiator has the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Tiffin Chassis Motorhomes w/ Factory Air Brakes # DM55MV may have to tap into the vacuum line in order to work. Vacuum-assisted brakes will require tapping into the vacuum line. If you have hydroboost brakes you'll need to refer to page 22 of the installation manual. If you have an electric assist brake and the vehicle requires the battery to be disconnected, refer to page 22 as well. If you have an electric-assist brake and the battery remains connected plug off the vacuum port only, keep the exhaust port open.

Your battery doesn't need to be disconnected so you will need to check if your brake-assist for your specific model to determine which set of instructions to follow for installation.
