    It was the switch, was burned out on one side. Weird, but quick fix took about 2 hours. That was our second break down then shortly after getting home while under a heavy load that we were bringing to the terminal the truck stopped wanting to go. It would go into gear but it would not go. Had to use the power divider to get it to the terminal (was only a mile out). So we are not going to be leaving out monday as thought. Dunno what in the hell that could be. but this is breakdown #3

    seems stupid, but i would check w/ the simple stuff first... is it possible the maxi's are locked up?? (air leak on that circut.) I realize you had heavy load on but it could be a coincidence!! you didnt state any noise/vibration, so im leaning towards a breaking issue ?? maybe on the trailer end also, if not, i would have to side w/ black dog...sorry & good luck (also poss. siezed wheel bearing somewhere)
