Frequently Asked Questions 
There are many causes of air brake failure. The most common cause is an imbalance in the braking system that puts more force on one brake than the others. Brake overheating is another problem that can lead to failure. Brakes typically overheat due to poor technique in situations that require high brake load, like going downhill.
If you are looking to install an entire air brake system, it will cost significantly more than a conventional hydraulic brake system. On average, it will cost $2,000 more than a conventional system, for a complete cost of about $3,000.
Air brakes are serviced in a similar way to hydraulic brakes, and the pads are changed in much the same way on both systems. The air brake system will require more attention to other components to ensure the whole system is operating properly. All air valves are checked for function and failure, and the lining of the brakes is checked for dirt and debris. The push rod operation is checked, as are the slack adjusters. Broken or missing parts are replaced.
