Brakes out of adjustment?

I know they can be that's why I sad, well they can be but it's not like adjusting manuals. or however I said it.

If you try to adjust autos like you would regulars it becomes a mess. They all are adjustable otherwise how would you initially set them.

 

Trucks are quickly becoming like tv's... "Do Not Open--No User Serviceable Parts Inside"...

The reason they tell you auto-slacks should not be manually adjusted is because when they stop working, it usually means there are further problems with the brakes than just a frozen slack. I personally don't think auto-slacks are a good idea, they create laziness in checking your brakes. I mean, it's not all that hard to grab your 9/16" and adjust manual slacks--it takes just a few minutes. It makes you look at things under the truck more in-depth.

 

I bet there is a whol lot of drivers out there that don't know how to adjust brakes anymore.

Automatics are great but you do need to check them. Manuals have a nasty tendancy to go from working good to NOT working at all at the most inopertune times if you don't stay on top of them

 

lol, I had the same problems with the medical scanners. My big belly didn't fit under the trailers.



I have manual adjusters and I can reach every one from the top as long as there is no trailer on it. I can't even get my shoulders between the tandems on a truck so I need to drop the trailer or crawl in from the back
