Message:: [QUOTE="Kansas, post: 1255766, member: 28163"]I have spent many a sat afternoon adjusting manual slack adjusters. That used to be my thing, every Saturday... But, that's if ya always pull the same trailer. Some of these guys have a different trailer every day. Makes it a bit more difficult.  I really like the 5 and 5 theory you just described. That's the way I have always done it. Quickly back down, let her coast back up, and then back down. Of course none of that will help ya if you're in the wrong gear. Gear selection is absolutely critical too.  Bar none the worst thing you can do to yourself is think "naw I don't need to check them, that's what the shop is for" BS, you just killed your self and don't even know it yet. Truth is some steering wheel holder had that trailer just before you, and they smoked those brakes just a few days before got it.[/QUOTE]
