    In his original post he said he had smoked that one already.

    Have you checked the stroke on the brake chamber to that wheel ? Is it different then the other three ?

    As I stated before, it took 6 months before my brakes quit grabbing... this was the first time I had used premium shoes, before I always used med grade.

    I checked slack adjuster out and so did my father in law. Not really seeing an issue but am going to replace it today as I just dont like it and hoping this will solve the problem. The stroke was 1 inch which is the same on the other side. We both agreed (and from suggestions here) that this has to be the cause for whatever the reason. Good thing the company I am leased to gives 50.00 back for each slack adjuster bought as it will help. Thanks for all of the ideas guys!
