EdsTowing Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Had to pick up a Fire Truck the other day for a brake problem. It always amazes me how heavy these trucks can get... This truck handles weight like a dream....the counter weight keeps the steer axle firmly on the ground... Found it to be the Slack Adjuster Pins seized in the yoke and wasn't letting the brake to completely release. A quick inspection, repair and we delivered it back to their facility. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Wagner Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Yes. fire trucks suck and are heavy. I tow some 100' aerial trucks that are 77,000 lbs and front axle is a mile back and garbage all over the frame.
