Think I found my problem guys.
A while back I broke an axle . I got a new one from dexter. Swapped hardware over and off I went. Well, upon disassembly yesterday, I pulled the drums on that axle. Brakes were LOADED with grease. Then after further investigation, the new axle has 2.25'' seal journals. Old axles have 2.125 seal journal. So when we put the old drums on, it tore the seal, therefore pumping grease into the dam brakes. DUH!! Never thought to look at that.
So today, I am going to be replacing brake assemblies, and adding brakes to the third axle. Wiring is all new now with 10 gauge from tongue back. I think I should be in much better shape.
