I can't even Google a good place for you in Poway and I use to live right down the road. No heavy truck service listed.


How is your air pressure?

Just spoke with his brother(ph # listed in post #1). He has a fleet service headed his way. Truck started out OK, then brake(s) started dragging. Does the A2 have wedge brakes? Also had the override pulled out? -and caged the suspect brake.

This is the closest one I could find for him. If the brake is caged and it is adjusted wrong it will still drag. Gimpy and I found out the hard way last year.

I gave the brother my ph # in case he needs a little assurance. Are the A2s equiped with wedge brakes?
