| Shak'n & Rattl'n I'm driving a bob-tail (propane) and I'm getting alot of wheel hop when I brake. I've tried setting the tag-axle pressure ranging from 20-40, but doesn't seem to make a difference. They do eventually load-up, but I'm thinking there maybe a more serious problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!   |

| Okay, take this advice lightly since I've only heard this tip from experienced drivers, but that may be caused by brakes out of adjustment. |

| wheel hop Brakes out of adjustment or warped drums can cause the same thing.... Check brake adjustment first.....  |

| Thanks, I guess I'm getting lazy as my truck's been getting serviced regularly by mechanics both in-house and out. I yanked on em not long ago and they were within tolerence. Co-drivers really seeme to think it's all about tag-axle pressure though. But you may be right...! |

| Just to up-date... The slack adjusters are automatic, and in good condition (no missing or loose parts). But after turning the tag axles up to 45 psi, I can now brake just fine. Others have told me that's too high, expecially in slippery conditions. But it's the only thing that works...? I'm happy... i guess.  |
