    It has nothing to do with the brakes, its the u bolts for the leaf springs.

    I got the same noise.....went to a Freightliner dealer and they told me the 5th Wheel needs to be greased ....of course it didn't do anything . A call to the maintenance department of my company didn't do anything either, they told me, the Shop couldn't figure anything out. Everything must be in good order....bla,bla,bla So, i figured out a fix my self. I will crank my stereo up and the noise is gone.

    Thanks for the ubolt tip. My lead mechanic said no way they caused the groaning. I asked him to double check, sure enough, loose bolts.
