thanks for the info. would love to see video of that monster in action. 2stacksuperdog a plow trailer? so they plow 4 lanes at once? how much crap do they wreck each year? the cab of that truck must look like a airplane cockpit! -
1977 Mack RS600L rear drive brake wear
gearhead204 replied to Art_H's topic in Air Systems and Brakes
check if truck uses 2 application relay valves, one could be bad or if it uses one relay check hose plumbing if front hoses use 90 fittings and rear don't that could be a issue also check slack adjusters for equal length also check size of chambers on both axles . have you watched the brakes apply? could s cams be installed bassawkards? if every thing checks out plumb 150psi air gauges onto front and rear axles and note application psi on both axles if this checks out check brake lining maybe damn good lining on frt. axle and soft butter on rear. -

dual wing plows? must be a air port truck I'm guessing, can't picture that on a highway in dry snow with a cross wind be like sticking your head in a white bucket! -
are drums heat checked? excessive brake dust in shoes? what vocation is truck used in? other drivers saying anything ?
-
pump timing sounds like the problem except for the bent valve, did it drop a valve? Had a mechanical 400 that the pump shop got the initial timing wrong on (figured that out after 2nd. rebuild in one month )
-
did the same length slacks get used? clevis pins in same hole? was lining changed ? if these are ok tail your driver for a few miles if they can burn up brakes that fast, shouldn't take too many miles to find out if rickey racer is at the wheel

Ever forgot to open/close your tailgate?
gearhead204 replied to jakebrake86's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
I've got countless tailgate storys but the best mess I saw was a windrow belly dump with spread chains set accidently trip on the freeway at 65 mph and hauling drain rock, what a flippin mess I think the company had 20+ cars in the body shop. w.s.p. closed the freeway while we took a grader out to clear the rock. after that all trip switches got moved so c.b. cords couldn't get caught on the toggle sw. -

Kenworth makes Bendix front air disc brakes standard
gearhead204 replied to kscarbel's topic in Trucking News
we had a rd with disc brakes 15 yr. ago brakes seemed ok until you needed parts. ended up converting to shoes and drums. never ran it in the winter thou don't know how they will get along with calcium chloride, I'd suspect a lot of stuck calipers. maybe nightmares like "p" shoes sezing on the anchor pins -
some of these a-holes can wreck a 150# anvil with a feather duster. I cant figure it out are people really this lost in their own little world? paying attention doesn't cost that much, cant tell you how many times I,ve seen people lose pup trailers and 5th wheel trailers because they didn't double check shit! and their susposibly pros. makes a guy real uneasy around common drivers.

you all just have to believe every thing o bummer sez, like if you like your gun you can keep your gun. he's the most honest man I've ever heard. NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive seen both offset slack adjuster arms and off set clevis and since slacks come in different lengths and that's obvious the slacks been changed. I'd be for finding a proper parts list for that setup. as for having to turn the clamps I remember are 87 value liners having smaller chambers 24 or 27 they also did some steeped chambers I don't know about the b models. I'd say do a little home work first to get it right. (too damn many lawyers in this world)
