Yesterday was a long day. It started out in grantsville to R&R a spring then back to West Jordan to repack some bearings on a huge gooseneck to find out it has sealed bearings. After Kyson and I got home, 20 mins later I got a call to go to Fairview lakes (the top of Fairview canyon) to fix a borrowed dump trailer. We serviced the whole trailer and had to replace a couple other bearings along with the new drum and fix the spindle. We also found it had a broken spring as well. It had been broke for a while and I didn’t have a spring with me to replace it so we strapped it to keep the axle inline to get it down the mtn. It was a 12 hour day and over 300 miles. Needless to say, I didn’t get any yard work done yesterday… 😁. But I’m not a landscaper, I’m a mechanic and would rather make trailers safe for our families to travel next to on the road.

If you own a snowmobile trailer that gets used for snowmobiles all winter long in the salt and does not get serviced regularly and the brakes don’t work, expect the brakes to be seized and they will have to be cut off. The nut will seize to the splined bolt and then it will spin in the back plate. I cringe every time I hear “my brakes don’t work on my snowmobile trailer”. They are a pain to cut off!

I’m asked all the time about the morryde, equa-flex, road armor and alltrek equalizers and my opinion on them. I DO NOT like any of them! The ONLY ones I like are the Dexter E-Z Flex equalizers if I had a choice over the original equalizers. The reason is they have way too much torque on the suspension and frame. I’ve seen frames fold from them or because of them. The e-z flex have the same design as the cast equalizers. They have a big thick rubber and split design to help with chucking and has cushion for the ride. These will out last any of the others by many years. these are much stronger and have a lot less moving parts and components. These don’t have the small rubber pads all the others do and they follow the original design of the original equalizers. This trailers suspension was wore out as well.

My trailers are meticulously maintained and consistently more than they ever should be. This is my luck at 9am today though. Good ole Lippert Components stuff! This is just the worst case scenario for me….
My dumb a$$ has been putting off putting 5200 lb axles under my trailer for over a year and this is what I get for procrastinating. luckily I was about a mile from my house pulling out of the gas station when the spindle broke. Tomorrow all the suspension is cut out and all new hangers and axles are getting installed.
Just a side note, it’s very loud when a spindle breaks 😂😆

Many people pay for a warranty which requires their bearings needing to be repacked every year and brakes inspected. This customer has had a dealer do the full once over every year. This is the result of their “repacking his bearings” every year. “Just a couple pumps” and they were done! Never once has his drums been removed and brakes inspected or bearings repacked. All outer bearings needed to be replaced due to being burned and there wasn’t any grease in them. The list goes on of what he was telling me that he has had to do because the dealer doesn’t do what they should be.

“He said he just had the trailer serviced” every outer bearing and race needed to be replaced. Someone “pumped” some gre...

“He said he just had the trailer serviced” every outer bearing and race needed to be replaced. Someone “pumped” some grease in it and called it “serviced”. Very little and old grease packed with water and dirt on all the outer bearings.

Don’t put off servicing your trailer. This was last night at 10:30pm in a parking lot off of i15 down south Luckily a passer by on the freeway noticed an issue and flagged him down before it all came apart. We got it taken care of then serviced the rest of the trailer.
Horse trailers, flat beds, travel trailers, dump trailers, enclosed trailers, snowmobile trailers and any other trailer needs to be serviced around 8,000-10,000 miles of travel OR every other year. Whichever comes first. Boats need to be serviced annually even if the boat is launched one time. Don’t put it off or procrastinate. Repairs can be costly and more often than not, it happens in the middle of nowhere.

6 weeks until Easter reminder!!!!!
Don’t be that one that calls me in the middle of no where saying “I should have serviced my trailer” or “I meant to service my trailer” 😁
Also, If your trailer is 5-6-7 years old, it’s probably a good time to start thinking about new and upgraded springs and new doubled up hardware.
If you use your trailer on a daily basis or multiple times a week, it is time to get its annual service done on it.
If your boat trailer wasn’t serviced this last fall, it NEEDS to be serviced before you take it out this year!

The average travel trailer or couple times a month camper DOES NOT need your trailer serviced EVERY YEAR like many other companies claim. They’re just digging in your pocket. 8-10,000 miles or every other year is the service intervals on them. If your trailer Is used many times a week, it should be serviced at least once a year. Boats MUST be done annually!
