Might be worthwhile disconnecting the third axle's brakes and seeing if there is a difference. |
all I am look'n 4 is properly work'n brakes w/ a 1/2 to 1 second delay like my 06 myco, not 3-4 seconds! other than that boat pulls & loads great, just like my 06 did!! don't think that is unreasonable to look 4 from a supposed top shelf trailer maker!!! do U??????

Delay
One thing I would suggest, and I apologize if this has been mentioned previously, is to make sure the hydraulic system has been properly bled and does not have air in it.

I'm having problems with a E/H system too. If I pull the break away when the trucks started they seem to work. I'm pulling with a 2008 GMC I just jack knifed the trailer going down a hill because the brakes didn't come on and I got into some gravel and shoved sideways. Just got the truck out of the body shop after a $4,100 bill. Our trailers now in a shop in STL so they can figure it out. It's also a newer Myco trailer. I'll let you know what they find out too.

Wrink, I think if there were any air in the lines or a restriction there would be a delay time for the pump to build any pressure to the calipers. If there is no air in the lines or restriction and after several trucks and brake controllers, I think that leaves the pump. But I would make sure they are bleed real well before I went to the pump. P.S I'm not so sure steel lines are better, lined or stainless maybe, but I have had too many plain steel lines fail on me. Plastic doesn't rust from the inside out and seems to take some flexing. Just my opinion. Doug
