Disc Brakes

Good info Banker! Thanks

 

I also know that if you are pulled over a pit by the DOT you are less likely to be put out of service or receive a citation due to being out of adjustment. As a one truck operation who micromanages my truck, that doesn’t apply to me but it would help fleets stay in compliance.

 

That’s a great result man.
Do you know what brake system exactly they soec’d on your truck? The manufacturer / type?

 

Bendix on the tractor and Hendrickson on the trailer. At that time Peterbilt only offered one option and so did my trailer manufacturer. I don’t know if there are other options now.

 

Trucks got discs on it I love it.
They will stop much much sooner then drum brakes.

 

Useless if your truck sees mud. Rotors will never last.

 

What would cause a rotor to start thinking on the back side?
The back of the rotor is very thin and the rim is starting to grove.

 

A stuck, or sticking caliper

 

Thank you.

 

The difference between discs and drums when you are 150,000+ lbs is.... noticeable.
