5T brakes vs 2.5T brakes

[jwaller]

I noticed that the pedal feels considerably different. are they supposed to feel the same? the 5T is very easy to push and will lock the tires with ease. the deuce pedal is hard and will not lock up.

what 5T? is it air brake's??

 

[jwaller]

It's air over just like the deuce. I'm just wondering why it felt so different. makes me think the deuces' aren't working right.

They may not be bled quite right... Mine are easy to depress and will lock 'em up squeelin' and smokin'!

I agree, I think I'd be checking the deuce's brakes. My old gasser deuce and the 5 ton slide the wheels on gravel with a relatively light pedal.

 

[jwaller]

sounds like you guys are prob right. I didnt know how bad they were till I drove a different truck.

Adjustment. both major and minor. thats where i would start since the pedal is firm already.
