    Test driving an M1009 tonight.

    That is an interesting statement, I have had mine in 4 wheel high on the pavement with no problems below 20 mph. 4 Wheel low on the pavement going straight and less than 4 miles per hour without any problems. I am sure this topic will bring many comments so lets see what others think.

    5 Ton brake problems

    From the description of the symptoms there looks to be more of a problem then just the wheel cylinder. The fact that the wheel locks up when the pressure builds points to a problem up the line and not the wheel cylinder alone. If the wheel brake cylinder failed it would tend not to hold...

    5 Ton brake problems

    The good thing is you got home safely. The second good thing is that you had an indication of where the problem is given the noise and smoke on the passenger side. The brakes are a hydraulic brake with an air assist on them. The air assist provides additional pressure on the break fluid when...
