rear brake
don't know how many of you have had the brakes checked, but took our 2009 Berkshire down for our yearly complete check, oil, etc. And the frightliner dealer has not found the cause yet, but our right rear brake pads were almost gone, 30,000 miles. Our dealer goes through everything. He said the brakes were adjusted correctly and all the other pads look great. He will know more tomorrow after they take them apart and replace the pads.

Just got back from frightliner dealer. Looks like yhe right rear brakes pad for some reason began to what he called "chunking" where the pad was coming apart. There was pices of the pad that was completely missing like about 3" in one place. These are on drum brakes and not cheep to replace either. Where the left pad was about 1" thick, the right was less than 1/2". They could not explain what caused it other than when they were made there was a defect in the pad.

Did you have to pay for it, being that they deemed it defective?

It sounds like either a slack adjuster or cam shaft issue. Did the brake drum shoe any sign of heat cracks?

No glazing at all, just chunks of the pad missing. They looked at the pads last year and everything was fine and all adjustment we withing specs.

$45 parts, $17 shop supplies, $178 labor. But what can I say, and yes, they weigh a bunch but the pad was gone in place.
