Pressure on tag axle
#6

I think I have mis-lead everyone. What I was meaning by dragging is the tires locking up when coming to a stop because there may not be enough pressure on the tag. When I first got the coach almost 6 years ago I took it to Newell for some minor work and someone had adjusted the axle pressure to around 8 lbs which I did not realize for quite some time as I was leaving long rubber marks at stop lights accompanied with blue clouds of smoke. I thought something was wrong with the brakes so took it to a repair place and they said the brakes were adjusted ok and knew nothing about the adjustment on the axles. I called Newell and was then told that 25 lbs was the correct pressure. The adjustment made a difference but I still was able to lock up the tag on a hard stop and not the drive wheels. Every time I would lock up the tag I would loose about 1/4 inch of rubber which would result in a flat spot about 6 inches wide which then would make a thumping sound for quite some time. What a difference with the new tires in the ride and much quiter. I just was wondering if everyone else was running 25 lbs of pressure and weather or not someone else experienced locking up the tag tires when coming to a hard stop. I also release the pressure when making a slow sharp turn. I am wondering if there may be an issue with the brakes and plan on having Newell look at them when we go there on the 29th. of this month.
