Locking Tag Axle Tire

[Tom Warner]

Randy unless the law of physics has changed since I retired 10 years ago a
difference in 1/4" air line lengths of a few feet will not make a
difference in the force that the brake chamber applies to the slack
adjuster.. I would suspect that if one tire is locking up then I would
suspect contaminated brake shoes on that axel or a misadjusted slack adjuster.
