Deere Mack Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Good morning! I hope everyone is safe and well. Crazy times. My dump has an hard pull to the left when braking hard, moves steering wheel too. This started after I installed new king pins but I can not figure out why. It does have ABS, would a bad wheel sensor cause this? FYI: The ABS light is not on but it does cycle at start up.

Deere Mack Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Forgot to mention, that I have replaced the slack adjuster, it seemed to help at first but didn't last. S-cam seems fine and everything seems to working properly. Curious about the valve package up front Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61616-05-granite-cv713-hard-left-pull/#findComment-446464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) The light cycles on start up to confirm the system is functional. Does it have self adjusting slacks? Seen issues with them going out of adjustment on their own.

fjh Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 To add to what Has been said here ! I have seen the ABS modulators sticK and hold just a tad bit of air in the line and not through code! check this is not happening just crack the air line loose on the side its pulling to!

So your saying that little bit of extra air could be not allowing it to equalize and brake to hard on the pulling side?

fjh Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I could possibly be holding air in the brake chamber on the pull side! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61616-05-granite-cv713-hard-left-pull/#findComment-446585 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pulled the line, actually both and neither had air in them. Checked slack adjustment again and it's fine. Cycled the brakes several times, again everything seems to work as it should. I checked the ABS valves for leaks and sticky valves and didn't notice anything. I still have the left pull. Most of the time it pulls hard and sometimes just slightly.

Deere Mack Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Slack travel is good on both. I have not swapped the tires, this could be a problem but you usually have uneven tread wear or a rough ride. My ride is smooth and tread wear is even. I'll probably do the swap just to rule it out and go ahead a re-inspect everything while the wheels are off.

Deere Mack Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 One thing I did notice when I had someone braking for me. The side that pulls is braking so hard that it slightly moves the air chamber and bracket. The other side did not do this. The travel is the same on both. ???

j hancock Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Wonder if something might be "off" inside the drum. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

MACKS Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Maybe it's the right side that not working properly,collapsed air line or something..

Deere Mack Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) I appreciate everyone chiming in, this one has been a booger to figure out and turns out it might have been a hidden broke leaf spring. I checked the leafs many time looking for a brake or crack and never seen anything. Had to get on the brakes the other day and felt some movement so I inspected it when i got back and it was visually noticeable at this point. I haven't driven it yet to know if it fixed it. While it was at my mechanic shop went to do an oil change and found metal, so here we go again. I just made a new topic in engine and transmission. I'll let you know when I drive it.

j hancock Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Geeesh, when it rains, it pours! Hopefully will be OK. Certainly appreciate hearing about a potential resolution to the braking issue that may help someone else down the road. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
