    Yukky. Looks like the one KW mixer I had to drive for like 6 months. The axle seal went like every two weeks.

    Loose wire somewhere in the trailer, sensor in the trailer going south ( doubtful ), one brake out of adjustment tripping the sensor ( more likely ).

    I drove a 96 t600 home from phoenix in the dark. My first stop was just north of phoenix because something went banging and flying out from under the truck. Couldn't see anything wrong. Figured i hit something on the road. Went to flagstaff and stopped again. Still can't figure out what the hey. Went to kanab when it happened again. This time i got a vibration. Went to Provo and the vibration stopped. Still couldn't figure out the clunk noise. Got unloaded in salt lake and went to the yard in Tremonton. Through the perry scale. Noticed the air bag bracket was cracked. And the brakes were in plain sight.

    The brake drum was completely gone. Except for the portion held on by the rim. The center portion of the drum was all that was left of that drum.
     
    dca and Lepton1 Thank this.
