when all was apart, slack was off - did anyone spin the cam see if movement was free and easy; or spin it 180??? I'd put added return spring on slack as in earlier picture . brake can reported as being new= same size as others 30-30/ 24-30. was the service brake line from valve to can removed and check for failing inner rubber lining??? is the line same size as rest ??? 1/2 in

with all the $$$$$ spent ,one item was slack adjuster that kinda eliminated the rusted clevis ; I think! makes you want to take a trip to physically see the truck. so many $$$ based on maybe . find your self racking brain cells as to what else is left . some thing sooo simple is being over looked : don't know what...

can the phrase having issues be narrowed down ? low side works ; not great or not working at all. do the new solenoids have o-rings ?? possibly failed o-ring. which case a solenoid can be heard when current placed to it yet faulty o-ring would lessen working capabilities ??? i' m liking to learn the new stuff.

I've noticed this vaping business going on in vehicles seems to create a heck of a lot of smoke. may be take a swig of 15-40 then do some vaping ;; that should help with the smoke😝

try some cheap fuel or dump some oil in fuel tanks 🙄🙄😕😷!!!!! this question must be some type of joke

from a mechanical standpoint (personal opinion only) its a positive for someone to 1= save some old iron;2 = had to use at least a little mental thoughts instead of computer to engineer the entire set up . 3=modification for a fun isn't all bad. how the term rat rod ever came to be associated with the modified iron not sure.

the explosion has to one heck of a noise. yrs back I was in an old cris craft in board when the 4 cyl flathead exploded. . noise and vibration unreal. piston came out starter / gen side; only thing that stopped it from going through wooden hull.

guess it depends on how many shots and beers consumed 😨

seems to me if quick release valve is faulty; tendency would be both wheels effected ? one valve for two wheels. jack up rear axle so both wheels spin. set on jack stands ; chock front wheels SAFETY IS PRIORITY sLOWLY put in gear while someone watches ' apply brakes and release;; back in gear slowly or after brake release try manual spin each wheel.

amazing how the mind goes after the technical possibility's before looking towards a simple solution many times. a serviced unit may be greased regular yet the simple items such as clevis pins overlooked.

notice the auxiliary helper return spring in picture of blue trailer axle on slack adjuster. possible another slow acting brake can. maybe that's what this truck needs

wheel loose enough to screw up braking should 1 - wobble noticeably-2 have wheel seal leak , should have been noticed by the mechanic. need two people ; one to watch brake action while other applies brakes. leaning towards rusted clevis pin in slack.

they don't need to invent the votes ;; that was one purpose of taking down the border wall so "new votes" can come over. what other way would they : thank this nice man that let us in other then vote for him. the voting machines will be like store cash registers; no words just pictures " for those that can't read english. SAD

possible to unplug fuse for speed sensors for road test ? lack lube on cam or rusted pin on slack adjuster?

now that's what I call expert observations of mechanical nature terms of twisted frame picture two. focus on tape measure till looking toward fifth wheel , cross member looks straight can't be camera angle. my vote also cast for twist some where.

back in the '60's a song came out called +:Day for Decision = by Johnny Sea . worth listening to. one line says " don't attack America let it fall under it's own corruption, and you know it's working ". 60 plus yrs later the words unfortunately are true. i still have the 45 and album.

If the issue is height related, wouldn't both wheels on rear act the same . exception might be due to left side wheel is on crown of road right side lower . as with many issues on this site - not being there to physically inspect challenges things. an empty trailer should have enough weight to pressure air suspension. out of round drum if jacked up and manually spun should indicate issue. also out of round would have a tendency to run hotter loaded ? tires /brake shoes/ drums all check out ; i'm back to slack adjuster error == be it over adjusting, or mis aliment. over adjusting would give a lock up / hot wheel run too long. before spending more $$$; the swap right to left drums, possibly shoes has my vote.

If Trump is "arrested" , would that not give him a criminal record and disqualify his ability to hold public office ?? I don't do much TV watching or follow politics.

scary part to me is listening to the news when numbers are given regards to the 800 million to some nation; 10 billion to foreign country and so on. 1= we know most of those $$$ are going into wrong pockets ;2- someone has to pay the tab at some point==our kids! I thought my first wife was expert at writing bouncing checks ;; this "clown " in washington has her beat by miles.

seems a persons mind was much more active in the day; so many phone numbers to remember. and never forget to keep a dime in your pocket for the pay phones through out the town that had phone books in them.

nice looking unit. example of the good days; simple yet effective. round rear tail lights. new trucks use to have two in each vehicle cab box. comical thing was when the factory units started to come through with rectangle rear lights having stop/tail/ signal , the cab boxes still came with two round tails. doing new truck prep at Mack ; i had dozens of round tail lights home.

looks to be a skidster in the back no aux power pushing . no floatation tires on Mack ; an olde but goody. just proves = want the job done call on Mack!!

did you ever consider 5/8- or 3/4 double laminated plywood used inside refer trailers? Baskin robbins trailers had the double laminate side walls. alot of moisture there along with weekly pressure washing. never a problem. i'm sure expensive ;;; even taking a cut out rubber mat glued to top side of laminated for non slip floor . i used a cut piece made to fit inside of my day cab for my "motel lay overs " . clean, fit between seats and stood behind seats when not in use. sister-in-law made a cover for the "mattress"(2- 2in foam ) . like everything today the so called pressure treated plywood isn't that great.
