Oh, we had major issues. 50 miles from our first park in Florida we had a front brake caliper on our truck freeze up, this after two weeks of front end repairs, a new steering rack, and new tires on the truck at home. Fortunately, we found a good and reasonably priced mechanic in Tarpon Springs who was able to replace the front brakes on our truck in just over two hours on 5 minutes notice. Yes, it cost us $500, but it would have cost that much anyway anywhere else, and we had the truck repaired on the only day that it rained all day in Florida...luck of the Irish was with us, for sure. Mechanic's name was PhD Automotive, owned by Phil, and we highly recommend their services.
My husband has since learned a great deal about ABS brakes on a truck when used with trailer brakes as well...
