I had a problem with my M923A1 today. The service brakes are not releasing.
I went into town to the post office (about 10 miles) and I noticed that the truck was not getting up the speed. When I got to the Post Office I noticed the rear brake were hot. I let them cool as I tried to find out why they got hot. I looked at the cage brakes they looked ok, but I caged them anyway.
Thinking I had them released I headed home slowly. I stopped at about 3 miles and checked the brakes, they were hot again.
I looked over the truck as may wife pushed on the brakes. Now the brakes are locked up and will not release.
I called a friend on SS "Castle Bravo" and we talked a little and he said to drain the air tanks and see if the brakes release, they did?
So it is looking like the service brakes are not releasing after you push on the brake paddle and the more you push on the brakes the more they push.
Does any one have any ideas on the problem? I will try to start trouble shooting in a day or so.
