@ bbforks, the brakes haven't been perfect since day one. I've been taking care of it 5 of it's 9 years. I try to do most of the wrench turning around here even though I'm stuck managing maint. for 3 warehouses but when I get a time consuming break down (enter pain in the a**) I will contract out to one of my local dealers and a brake job on this dual hub, solid tire POS fits the category.
After the dealer tech did the brake job the last time he didn't get the lug nuts tight enough and while I was on vacation a couple of them just rolled off the lift. The area supv. called the tire company we use and they came out and torqued em down with a 3/4 impact. A couple of weeks later the brakes locked up...the backing of 2 of the studs had broken off and lodged in the left hand adjuster and wiped out the wheel cylinder, adjuster, hub and shoes. The truck was down almost 3 months waiting for replacement lug studs (all the ones available) that were coming from Japan by boat. That was late last year. I'm seriously thinking about testing out our fire insurance.
