I have now done some damage. So today i was pulling my 18 foot open trailer with half loaded with white rock and the back half with a mini-skid steer. I figure about 7K-ish in total weight.... Backing down about a 30 degree decline in a job site the trailer pulls my truck down the hill. Now I locked up the breaks and was able to control the 15-25 foot slide. BUT now theres a major racket coming from the transfer case. The wheel hub assemblies both went bad and somehow the right side brake caliper froze permanently.... $H&%%#@$@#$@@@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so today was a bad day too...

The fact that the trailer also had stone on it could have added a lot of weight. Hopefully it wasn't more than one cubic yard, even though it's too late now.
