That's slightly shorter then the typical fleet spec Freightliner of about 230. That's a manageable wheelbase. Much easier in tight truck stops with that truck than other trucks like a 260 wb

I once ran in to a swift driver in Seattle. He came up from san diego. Got inspected at every scale up the 5 during that week.

Only reasons to ever adjust an auto slack:
-Slack adjuster has failed and no longer adjusts correctly. Manual adjustment only to get truck in for repairs.
-Bonehead who replaced brake chamber cut the pushrod too long/too short or installed the adjuster bracket incorrectly.
A properly installed and maintained system should have a 90 degree pushrod to slack adjuster angle with or with slightly less than 1-1/2" of stroke with no brake drag. -
Would be super cool if everybody just refused to drive during their blitzes.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
All this talk of measuring. There is a wear indicator in the middle of the pads. If the gap has a vee shape your good. If its all square then have the shop do a break job.
Lepton1 Thanks this.
