Sounds like LCI should start hiring 'Trained technicians' at the factory, maybe the failure rate will decrease. The issue didn't just appear a few weeks ago it has been ongoing since 2011 as I know from personal experience on my Sundance 5th wheel. It's all BS by some PR guy trying to make nice with Grand Design.

I figure I have to make a choice: 1) sell while i can cut my losses(before this situation makes it worthless, Or: 2)bite the bullet & replace with a diff. brand axle & brake setup. Both are unacceptable in my opinion.

Jim - I was in the middle of a response with exactly that same logic . . . and came back to find that you have described the plan (and the odds) exactly . Based on LCI's extensive knowledge of the situation, they should have no problem proving that only one brake has grease on it, across those 250 trailers to be checked. (Like that's ever going to happen.)
Just a reminder to LCI . . . finding OE factory grease (which is different than any grease that we can buy) on the brake shoes at initial hub disassembly can in no way be blamed on the person who then repairs the situation. There have been very few (if any ?) reports of subsequent greased brakes after the bearings have been properly repacked and the seals replaced.

How about not just on the West Coast. They should do this test in other areas as well just as a control. Sure it'll cost them a little money doing the work in more than just one region but I think it's important to have a valid sample. I'm sure they can find plenty of GD rigs in Georgia and Florida and other areas around the Southeast.
