Hey guys, a question for the more experienced in the matter. I took the kids off roading (in their toys, not the Humvee) and while trailering and braking the truck started shuddering excessively, like never before. I have experienced shuddering in the truck and i know is normal, but this was a lot scarier. A couple of things that might have caused it (and i might be wrong)
1 - a slight oil leak in the right side front differential dripping on the rotor.
Solution: cleaned with degreaser and water, no change.
Cleaned with brake cleaner abundantly (2) cans. No change
2 - replensihed the brake reservoir with new dot 5 fluid.
(Possibly this?)
Worth to mention i never drained the brake fluid, as upon arrival it was almost new and no contamination signs.
What could be causing this? There are no other changes to how the truck has been driving or the maintenance to it.
