brake skidding
Is it just me or do your trucks want to skid fairly easily? It seems that I dont even have to be going very fast and when I apply the brakes my wheels will lock up pretty good and i will skid.
I guess my anti lock brake system isnt working well!  No but for real, do your trucks skid easily also? I guess I can pump the brakes but arghh! |

Re: brake skidding
Try backing your adjuster off 1 or 2 clicks on the tire locking up and recheck. If it stops doing it great, if not try the prop valve idea. Jerry

Re: brake skidding
Mine skid easily, but I think part of it is due to the fact that there is very little weight on top of the rear end....
So I push hard to slow down, lock up the brakes, and skid....

Re: brake skidding
My rears will lock up if I have to jump on the brakes. Probably the proportioning valve also...
