Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

We use to call it GA overdrive...everything has an official sounding name nowadays.

 

I spoke too soon about not having issues. Last night I had to wiggle around some 'make a spot' drivers in a full truckstop, and had to make a hard left turn to get back on the road, only to have the red brake hose break...it was really brittle, and instead of the coil uncoiling...it just broke. I managed to get over in 1 lane of this 2 lane country road...threw out my triangles...but chose to swap the service line over so I could at least release the brakes and get to a safe spot. Bought a new air line and had it fixed faster than getting thru to breakdown.

Now, coming into Brigham City, UT I noticed some smoke behind me. I pull off on a ramp, and #### if a brake chamber on my front drive axle may have broke. Managed to cool it down and baby it the last few miles to the Love's here just north of the scale...so now I sit, waiting for my turn at the shop to see if it was indeed the brake chamber, or something else causing the brake chamber to appear broken. Went to cage the brake, and I think it's part of the spring blocking the hole. It's not leaking, just locked on.
