Well from what i was told by the head service managerat Dexteraxel the time that i lost all brakes on my 28 foot trailer that electric brakes are not made to STOP you just slow you down and that the truck brakes are what is suppose to stop you . If the day ever comes that i get a new trailer it will not have electric brakes as they are a PITA And the cost of rebuilding my brakes on my trailer because it is and older one with the 4 bolt backing plate will knock your socks off , lining for one wheel is 110 bucks 42 for the magnet 38 bucks for the seal can't remember the spring kit cost and if ya need anything else it is over 200 bucks per wheel. And that don't include the brake drum. I always thought that they were suppose to bring you to a full stop but i was wrong . My brakes went out while comming back from Iowa with three vary high priced old John Deeres from the Expo and i stopped at Dexter and had them check and work on the brakes they got three of the four working because they did not have the parts on hand to get the fourth one fixed but they sent me the parts a week later they were nice people and Ron was a fine man that went out of his way to get my buddy and i going .
