Is the "inside of the drums" the same thing as the inside of the rim?

    Ok this is kind of a dumb question, but in the guys defense I’m sure the manual refers to it as brake linings instead of shoes. There are several parts on a truck like that. Brake pods are the same as brake chambers, kingpins or ball joints etc.

    Then you have to figure in the truckers jargon. Rag for a tarp, skateboard for flatbed, gator for tire cap etc. No doubt a bit to learn for a new guy.

    I’m sorry, I’m new to this whole thing. My Class B road test is tomorrow and I’m a little nervous for it. I ask because I’m studying for the pre trip.

    i think "it BEST" for the o/p to use the same terminology, as what IS IN THE BOOK, and not confuse him/herself anymore than what is required.

    once someone tries to decipher wording or adding words, one screws themselves up...royally

    o/p...stick to the program.!!!!!!!!!

    DO NOT MAKE MORE OF THIS THAN WHAT IS THERE....!!!!!!!.

    if THE BOOK, calls them LININGS, THEN THEY ARE LININIGS....

    IF THE BOOK CALLS SOMETHING A LEFT KAFLOOGLLE VALVE, YOU CALL IT A LEFT KAFLOOGLE VALVE....GOT IT...????

    GO BY THE BOOK...!!!!!!!!

    Not cracked, damaged or broken. Within spec etc.

    Less about what it is and more about what it isn't.

    Never apologize for asking questions. Wish everyone did when new and maybe just maybe we wouldn't the problems we have today
