    One note here. If your loaded id still be skitchy as hell about caging all 4. Ive done it empty to limp it to the nearest shop but fully loaded you either crawl or you just dont. Even empty you would be shocked just how much braking power you lose. You actully have less empty with 4 missing then full will all working from my experince.

    Wow! I learn something tho. The mechanic told me that the black hose is called the tanderm hose, that is not needed unless you wanted to slide your tanderms. So I could have just run the small rubber hose straight.

    “Tanderm” hose ? Never heard of it. I looked up that word and NO such word. Is your mechanic on “crack” ?

    Edit:, I think you mean “Tandem”. Just went back a reread your post. Yes, “Sliding tandems” is what he’s referring too.

    Tandem hose is flexible rubber part of trailer air brakes between trailer and sliding tandem. Oh, there is wire between two hoses to power ABS.
