You said that you adjusted the calipers???? The only way you would have calipers is if you have electric over hydraulic brakes with disk brakes. If the are standard drum brakes check as follows: 1) Take a volt/ohm meter and see what kind of voltage you are getting at each magnet. Should run from a low of 8-9 volts on low setting to a high of 12-14 on wide open. The controller adjusts the voltage. I have found that if you use crimp butt connectors or scotch lock connectors then the voltage is restricted. I solder and shrink tube mine and they have lasted better. 2)Did you check the flat side of the brake drum???? That is where your magnets run. If your drums needed turned and they did not turn the back surface. Then the new magnets will not mate a rough surface and will not hold as well. You should check on the price of drums. I have a trailer that has 10000 lbs dualed tandem axles on it. New backing plates and drums for all four wheels was only $600 dollars. I usually get about 75-85 thousand miles out of a set. This trailer has about 300 thousand miles on the hub-odometer.
