brakes

title says it all. my 1984 bluebird bus has been sitting for a bit (maybe 9 months, starting occasionally). I use it more as a spare bedroom than a vehicle. anyway, it gets up to 50 psi or so and then won't go any higher. And it takes forever to get that high. Any ideas on what the problem...

Normally would not be an emergency but I am supposed to leave in the morning with the fiver for a new job. Long story short I jerked the 7 wire loose from the junction box on the hitch. I have reconnected it the best I can think of and everything works just no brakes. All lights work and the...

I have a 2010 half-ton Silverado with just over 60,000 miles. Low mileage because for the past few years it has been used almost exclusively for towing, which we do about once a month. During this time I have noticed that under load the truck brakes squeak loudly when I first hook up and...

Will these work on my 2015 Hideout 175LHS? I assume they will, but wanted to check to make sure before I order. Mine has the Lippert 3500# axle. I was just going to replace the magnets, but the whole assemblies are only $50.00 more. Thank's...

This isn't a single click, so its not the magnets engaging the brakes. i'm just getting back from a trip for service at the RV dealer (unrelated service) and I notice when I'm getting off the exit a clicking noise on driver side trailer axles when braking. Not sure if its happening both sides...

Just replaced the rotors and pads on our Chevy. Getting the rear rotors off was the most difficult. The parking brake area had allot of rust debris. Should have done it sooner. About 65,500 miles on the OEM brakes. Road salt does the number on the brakes. Power Stop Z36 Truck & Tow...

I’ve read about other trailers with auto adjusting brakes recently. With our new tow vehicle I adjusted the electronic braking and it is currently set to the highest level and the brakes on the trailer do not lock up but they do provide braking assistance. I am wondering if my trailer brakes...

Well got the spring bearing repack and brake adjustment all completed today. TT has about 6,000 miles on it and is a 2015, so it was time. Was pretty impressed with the factory bearings as all bearings and races were in great shape. In fact, it was the dang grease seals that actually had failed...

Working on the new to us PT Crusader 355. The break away isn't working. I just finished the chassis servicing, replaced bearing, adjusted brakes, and lube chassis. Brakes work when using the in truck actuator but when you pull the break away pin, brakes do not actuate. Do these trailers has a...

Went out and bought a 3791 Rear Den a few weeks ago. What a beast. After a few trips and a few hundred miles I realized the front adjusting brakes just wasn`t going to stop this thing when the lovely young female that wants to get off at the next exit decides to come out of the fast lane into...

We have a 2018 Palomino Puma XLE 18-FBE is our first RV of any type and our towing experience is currently limited to short runs. We added electric brakes to our towing vehicle (2017 Toyota Highlander) and noticed that the brakes seem to pulse when I apply them. The dealer said that was normal...

We purchased a 2017 Solitude 310GK and 2017 Silverado 1 ton diesel in August 2017. Our first trip was close to home. Our second trip was through the UP of Michigan. The day we got home we pulled straight into our driveway...and when we got out of the truck we noticed our slides were out about...

Purchased a new 298 srl in September. Does anyone know if these come with self adjusting brakes? Or, how I might find out?

I'm researching in preparation of upgrading from electric drum to E/H disc brakes on my 2009 CC Silverback 30 LSA. I just replaced the defective Lippert sealed axles with Dexter EZ lube. I have read up on Hydrastar, Dexter and Actulink and am leaning toward Dexter. Zodiac dacromet coated 12"...

I have 2010 Tour with 95000 miles on it should I be thinking of changing brake pads. I am about to change the tires after the winter

I was shopping around for replacement parts to do a brake job on my trailer. One of the shops I spoke with said I should consider getting away from Dexter Never Adjust brakes and install the standard Dexter adjustable set. He claimed they usually recommend this because the brakes are always a...

heading to Florida from Ohio, on snowy roads do you add more or less brake to the trailer?

I took the brakes apart today and here is what I found. Keep in mind that RV is only one year old. Only one brake was not damaged out of four. Below photos show adjuster that fell out when the hub was removed. The spring that holds the shoes together at the bottom was missing. The left rear...

Anyone ever try using the braking system for their toad when bleeding brakes? The monitor has that button to press brakes manually and I was thinking it might be easier then doing the 1 man routine of running back and forth between the caliper and brake pedal.

I know compressing air can result in moisture in tanks. How does the Freightliner Chasis handle this for the DX3 and Force? Do you have to drain the tanks periodically or is it expelled automatically?

"Check trailer brake" and "Trailer brake not connected" issue with 2015 Ram dually Hi everyone. We just picked up our 2018 Momentum 376th and had an immediate issue with a dash warning coming on - check trailer brake and trailer brake not connected for about 5 second before clearing. My...

Just got done with a trip that involved some city driving that had me sitting at stoplights and in stop and go traffic for long periods of time during rush hour. Is there any issue with the electric trailer brakes overheating and creating problems when sitting with my foot on the brakes? Thanks

I have a 2005 international ce300. While driving, I had a hard jerk to the left (drivers side) and the steering wheel became off center. Later down the road, the bus jerked to the right and the steering wheel went back to almost the center position about 15 degrees to the right of center. I’m...
