brakes

Hi. My next project seems to be needing to know if my emergency brakes work. I know now how to hook up the cable although the length puzzles me a bit. I know it needs to be shorter than the chains but not short enough to get pulled out in a turn. Hmmmm. Anyway, I pulled the pin out a couple...

Any idea what type of brakes are on a 2021 grey wolf? I'm looking for this adjusting wheel described in the manual but can't find it. I'm not getting great brake performance yet but maybe it just need to be broken in more? I have the gain set to 10. I noticed when testing only one of the drums...

My FR3 201933DS has a maintenance schedule of Flush the brake fluid at 2 years. Has anyone done this before and would like to share your advice? I know I need to use e Motorcraft DOT 5.1 Id like to know if I can take this on myself or take it to a service center due to some complex issue.

Last week I made the trip to MorRyde for some upgrades on our Sandpiper. We had them install their independent suspension, disc brake conversion, and pin box. On the initial rode test I immediately noticed how much quieter it was going down the road. There is a noticeable lag when applying...

O was crawling around under my new FE 20SE the other day. Wanted to see what was under there, and also look at and take pictures of the stickers on the Dexter axles. The sticker confirmed I only had 2800# axles under it. The stickers, in addition, had the Product #, Production date, and of...

Just picked up my 2020 Surveyor this week and first WE camping. This is my third TT and have some previous experience with self adjusting brakes (not good) on my Jayco. Question for the forum. As mentioned, this TT is new and was on the dealers lot a while. I expected the brake pads to take...

I have a 2020 Forest River Sun Seeker 2250 SLEF, with Ford V10 and 2700 miles. My brakes make a clacking noise when I put my foot on the pedal before the engine is started. Is that correct? Deborah

2015 Rockwood Windjammer with Dexter Torflex axles. The right rear brake is clanking and braking hard compared to the other three wheels. I am traveling and have no where to get it fixed until Monday. Can i cut the wire to the one wheel and travel 300 miles tomorrow safely? I am in Isleton, CA...

At 50,000 miles, the brake pads / rotors on my GMC 1500 Sierra are going to need to be replaced soon. I have no issues going back with OEM but before buying parts, wanted to reach out to see if any of you have found improvements over the stock TV brake setup by going with a particular...

This group has always been informative. There are a LOT of experienced and a LOT of extremely knowledgeable people on here. Though I’ve been doing this a while, I’m always learning new things.... which leads me to my next question. (Staying in a rest area on our way to the Keys and can’t sleep)...

Have our 376th for 3 years and maybe close to 10k on it brought it in for the warranty work on the microwave recall and had them check the breaks and tires they called and said the pads are worn out and left groove in the drums ask had to be replaced $1800.00 dollars trying to understand how...

I use the air brakes a LOT. I use them so I don't wear or over heat my brake pads coming down long hills. A few weeks ago I spent 1100 dollars replacing the brake pads on my enclosed trailer. I've come to realize that using the air brakes activates the brakes on your trailer. My Newmar did not...

Taking delivery in a few weeks (again - Hopefully!) and was just curious if there are brakes on both axles. Thanks in advance.

So, I picked up our new DX3 earlier this week and love it, although I’ve only driven it 80 miles before parking it in my shop. During the walk-thru, the service tech explained some steps required to drain the air tank used for the air brakes and advised that I do this every time I park the rig...

I just ordered this trailer and am trying to learn as much as possible and make sure my truck is ready to tow it. I seem to remember reading that this model came with electric brakes standard. Does anyone know if this is for sure the case? SRR

We have a Sprinter and want to tow a 4,200 lb. Jeep. Any positive or negative experiences with NSA Ready Brute tow bars or the Ready Brake which is a mechanical surge brake system operating the brakes on the towed vehicle?

Has anyone else been experiencing the random service electronic brakes message? I'm on a 2018 chassis, it started a couple months back. One trip it won't show at all then on my way home last month it was almost consistent. renders the cruise control inoperative which is the biggest pain...

Had a problem with brakes being grease contaminated on my 2017 FR Vibe 251RKS. Apparently all four brakes were grease contaminated (according to my dealer). The dealer quoted over $1300 to replace all of the brake assemblies!!! I purchased all four Lippert replacement assemblies for just...

I have a NoBo 16.8 with Dexter brakes that I picked up in Elkhart in the winter. I tried the brakes on snow packed streets and couldn't get them to skid even with my Prodigy P2 on maximum power. I went to a trailer brake shop and after checking it out they told me that electric brakes just...

Hi, all - I just wanted to throw this question out to the group to see if anyone has insights to offer on a strange issue I'm seeing. The story starts with pulling out of a rough parking lot, which unknown to me pulled the breakaway switch cable out of the switch, tripping the trailer brakes...

The electric brake that Camping World installed hooks up to the Highlander with a Hopkins brake plug-in. The cover to the Hopkins plug-in broke and I had Hopkins Mfg. send me a new one. They did not explain how the spring attaches to the cover, so I left it off. I guess without the spring...

I have a crazy idea that I hope works...but I have my doubts. All legal-ness aside, I am hoping to be able to pull two trailers with my '17 F350. They are both bumper pulls. This will only be done when we move again (.mil family). Trailer #1 is an 18ft car hauler and will weigh somewhere...

My brakes were not working well The seals were blown and covered with grease. I scrubbed them and the drums with brake clean but no good so I replaced them. Magnets and all. They still dont work well. I can crank up the brake controller and I hardly feel them pull at all. Pic is of the old...

Hey all, looking for some input or assistance if possible. This is my first trailer but not new to general vehicle maintenance. RIG: New 2021 Apex Nano 208bhs bought in July, using the Curt Echo wireless brake controller on a 2017 Durango RT AWD. Eaz lift WDH BACKGROUND: Since first bought...

We recently took our 2020 Momentum 351M in for a checkup before our first year warranty was up. We had a few things that needed fixing. We also had our dealer - General RV of Draper Utah check our brakes as they seamed to not be working as they should. When the technician pulled the brake...
