Wow, can't believe that this thread got resurrected...

Will an ABS trailer function properly with a truck without ABS brakes?
It's got to be hard to find an older non ABS van trailer that's in good shape I would imagine. -
I work for company that 90 percent of trailers abs not work. National company we have to take them or no pay for the day. Sucks.

That also means a rubber hub seal may start leaking, the oil covers the sensors, activating the light for mal function.
Obviously that’s is a Out Of Service for sure, like cracked air bags, and low profile brake pads, and if slack adjuster is moving more than 2” before the pad touches the drum, that’s also an Ticket for Self adjusting brake in mal function. You need to check by hand the free travel dustance slack adjuster rod does. -

There have been many times I needed Mr ABS and grew to love and depend on it. However I always allow for the off chance there is No Mr ABS and fortunately as long there is pavement to throw her around a little bit I can make it work.
