Trailer Disk Brakes?

Nice work!

brake pump came yesterday.  weather looks good Thursday for some outside shenanigans to pull a few wires and mount pump.

finished install and bled out.

locks/stalls out truck with a squeeze of the brake controller!  pump noises seem to be modulated with modulated brake controller panic button input so i think it works as it should and i should be able to lower / adjust brake gain normally. 


i am excited!

works awesome

ended up with controller set at 6/10
there is about a 1sec delay until trailer brakes start coming in but they pull HARD

noted some leakage by pump, need to investigate, but no other issues.
hardware and lug nuts were tight at 100 mile check
cool hubs, warm tires.  (tires are looking like shit with lots of cracks in tread, date code 2017s i bought new before KOH)

may attempt to bleed again now that its been cycled a bit to VA and back.

still noticing plywood under pump is soaked with brake fluid.  level not really down in pump as far as i can tell (holds 1 quart)

cleaned and checked for leaks, checked all screws on pump tight and my two threaded connections at pump good. 

chip clipped panic button in truck for about 3 minutes (on like 20%) and did not have any sign of leaks anywhere around pump after bleeding all 6 calipers.

got a good shot of air out of one caliper and then some bubbles out of 2 others, so that should be nothing but improvement on my 1.5 second delay im feeling to produce trailer braking effort.
