I've been +30 yrs at this scene and I'd say virtually no other aspect of heavy vehicle technology hasn't changed as much as the brakes. My regular one (6x2 rigid + 5-axle drawbar trailer) has electrically controlled disk brakes with ABS (law requires). There're many benefits, eg. when I stomp the pedal the pads hit at the same time to the disks all over and releasing as well simultaneously, furthermore they're always without slacks and wearing evenly - especially wintes are a bit easier today.
@jboydmv90 Not sure what kind of equipment you work on or size of pots, type 20, 24 maybe? But with a 30/30 you want to back off a a half turn. And optimal push rod travel is 1 1/4- 1 1/2. <- 30/30 mind you.
how do you know if the brakes need adjustment or not by just looking at the brakes?
