Does anybody know?
Dexter has come up with a Nev-R-Adjust trailer brake for their 6000/7000 pound axles. I have just discovered that the magnets are two different strengths. "White wire" is for 6000# and "black wire" is for 7000# axles. The Nev-R-Adjust brake assemblies can be retrofitted to the axles. Does any one know if we have to self adjusting brakes on any of the new rigs, i.e., 2008/2009 models?
If not, I am sure thinking of retrofitting my rig with them. The cost is about $65 a wheel when the Nev-R-adjust is purchased from Trailer Parts Superstore. Just replacing the brake pads would run $50 a wheel. For $15, I will be happy not to have to deal with those cursed brake shoe springs. Five bolts and 2 wires sounds a bunch better and less time consuming. I have done my share of brake shoe replacements with those blasted springs and retainers (even when you have the right tools).
