Also found out from Titan the component supplier that the 2 electronic boxes/controllers at the front of the trailer R not 2 B submerged or heavily wetted, guess what!! mine get nailed heavily nearly evertime I launch!! they were mounted 2 far back & 2 low inside the c channel!! hopefully a new set on the way!! guess my trailer was built on Friday afternoon!! Nobody is perfect but it's how they thru me under the bus say'n it was my truck!! my last conversation w/ them a couple months ago was our trailer is right, it's your truck, go deal w/ NT!!! so that's what I have been do'n & they have been helpfull!!!

That's messed up! when I bought my Myco in 2007 the bow stop was rusted from not using some kind of washer on the bolts. The Myco stickers were bubbled/creased. The tires had creases in them. They make good trailers but you have to check them over when you get it. Which is kind of messed up seeing Myco rep and cost. Anyway glad you got it fixed.

Glad you got a solution, in the future though, couldn't someone simply put a pressure gauge directly dead heading the pump, then moving it down the line to find the ultimate problem whether it was pressure or build up time? Too bad the trailer was on grass or your problem would have been noticed much easier.

Myco should have taken care of this. How much longer till he would have had no brakes, on this brand new trailer???


Send them the bill for repair and troubles!
