I recently returned from a trip in the mountains. Before leaving, I serviced the pivot points on my Pac-Brake, as best as I could. I could not get the Pac-Brake to open & close by hand, so I lubed the areas that I could get to with an approved synthetic lubricant.
The first few times I used my brakes while descending the mountain, the coach made a loud whistling noise. I couldn't tell for sure, but it sounded like the Pac-Brake was possibly hanging up. The noise went away after 3-4 applications of the brakes. This has never happened before.
Anyone experience anything similar?

You must use a 12-volt dc jumper to activate the pac brake. Best to disconnect the electric plug, then connect a good ground to one pin and 12-volts to the other. That is the only way to operate the pac brake. Use only Superlube that Pac Brake makes. It can be ordered through Camping World.

That is a great idea, thanks. I will give it a try.
I called Pac Brake tech support a couple of weeks ago, and they said that in addition to Pac Brake brand lube, SuperLube (which can be found at most Ace Hardware stores) is an authorized synthetic lubricant.
