Slack adjusters and air brake components

dont need them, i can already visualize them. Also, auto slack adjusters wont compensate for wore out cam bushings. You can adjuster a slack adjuster and may seem to be in adjustment but with wore out cams, the push rods will still over extend. All bs aside, you have to know your equipment to have a safe ride. If all components are in good shape, brake chambers, cams, cam bushings, shoes and drums, the slack adjusters work flawlessly.

 

I love this site. Everyone just loves to argue.

 

check those specs in the link. You can check your rears without a assistant. Check the measurement with parking brake disengaged, then put truck in gear so it wont roll and disengage parking brake and check measurement againt. Chock the wheels if that feels safer.

 

Somebody probably ####ed up and cut the pushrod too short.

 

eh, im guilty as sin for that but i hope the guy doesnt take it personal. im a nice guy in person

 

I do take it personal and I think you should never come to the oilfield.
