![]() ![]() I understand that he is just doing his job, but I was doing mine. ![]() But the mechanic wasn't having any of that and said that it had to be done. Secondly, which sounds a bit self righteous, but I religiously grease my truck bumper to bumper weekly and know that my brakes are in perfect working order. I took a bit of exception to this for a couple reasons, number one, I was under the impression that loosening the adjustment nut on auto slack adjusters against the ratcheting mechanism can round out the teeth and cause the auto adjusters to fail. ![]() So for the next few weeks EVERY truck that comes in for a service, they want the adjustment nut on the brakes loosened one full turn against the ratcheting mechanism, everything greased, and then readjusted. I work for a fracking company and a few days ago I brought my truck over the pit for a service and a mechanic proceeds to tell me that they have been having problems with brakes failing because guys have not been maintaining their brakes properly. So we're having a debate at work right now on proper methods for adjustment and maintenance of automatic slack adjusters.
