[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1641393, member: 39695"] I just acquired a GMC 9500. Tandem axle, 18' grain box, air brakes, 5spd manual w/ an Eaton 3spd, Detroit engine. The previous owner is not mechanically inclined. Said there was something wrong with the brakes, but couldn't figure out what. He had a couple close scares two years ago hauling corn to the elevator, and not being able to stop at the stop signs. He just wanted it gone. I brought it home and spent ten minutes, figured out that the front brake chamber on the passenger side tandem has a huge air leak. If I cap the air line going to that chamber will the brake pads stay free or lock up? I know that's not the right way to fix it, but it sure would be a cheap way. Will the brakes on the other wheels still function properly? Thanks everyone. [/QUOTE]
