Help on figuring out the surge when I hit the brakes
Guy's, Ive noticed over time that when I hit the brakes on my Myco I'm getting a surge when coming towards the end of the stop, even though Im lifting up on the brake pedal to smooth it out..Is there something that any of you know to adjust or add fluids just to make the brakes more linear when stoping..Thanks Jeff

Assuming these are electric over hydraulic, you may not have the controller properly levelled or the adjustment is off. If they're surge brakes, you need to convert to EOH. Not only are they much smoother, surge brakes only work if you can supply "surge". If you overheat your truck brakes on a long downhill, you will have no trailer braking.

Thery're all different- if you don't have the manual, check with the mfg.
Some are more sensitive to level than others but I've never seen one that wasn't level that didn't do what you described. There's also a damping or delay adjustment that takes out the pulsing but it won't correct for out of level.
