hi all,
my coach is a 2002 and has the tag and drive wheel brakes activated when the emergency air brake is applied. bill johnson and i were talking and figure they did that from late 90's till 2004 sometime.
what it causes on mine is a lot of rear axle groaning, popping and when i leveling the coach i have to take the e brake on and off several times. when i release the e brake the coach will lurch and change level. in talking to newell, it is a known problem.
it is most annoying. so my question is this.....is there any reason i couldnt disconnect the air e brake from the tag wheels and just have it on the drives like i believe alot of the coaches have done?
any thoughts?
