I'm Awesome
I was out for around 15 hours plowing last night. Noticed about 8 hours in that the back brakes would lock up with even the slightest application of the brake pedal, as well as squeal just before I came to a stop but only in reverse. It didn't do it all the time, but I'd notice when I was pushing/working it hard/spinning tires, it would start doing it. I would go to a different lot and it would act fine again. I pulled the ABS fuse just to see if it changed anything and it didn't. It would only do it if the truck was on snow/ice/slush, they would not lock up on wet cement. It seemed to have went away and stopped completely 4-5 hours after I noticed it the first time.
We got about 5" of basically wet concrete to plow. It was a ***** to push even with 800# of ballast behind the axle. I was going as easy as I could on it but it was definitely a work out.
Anyone know what might have caused this? If it's just a "thing" that happens, I'm totally cool with that. However, if this is an indicator of an issue I'd like to look into it more. The last time it did this was last year. I took it apart and found a leaky axle seal. I replaced the seals, drums, cylinders, shoes, and hardware then. Really hoping there's something else that I'm missing so I don't have to take it apart again. I hate working on the FF.
