Truck Tips: Mark-and-Measure Brake Adjustment
Commercial drivers are required by law to ensure their brakes are in working order and properly adjusted. The mark-and-measure method is considered the only reliable means of measuring brake stroke. That is how roadside inspectors measure brake adjustment.

Buy Slakjak adjuster tool American made built to last. It lets you check the slack adjusters without pressing on brakes and you can pull the slack adjuster way out. Was looking for a tool to do this and this is the best one I found, it will last you a life time.

How does the slakjak measure slack movement? It doesn’t … it’s just a tool used to help pull on it but it does no measuring

Is there any other way to measure breaks without going under the truck. If there is no break indicators on it?

Be sure to grease your slack adjusters... stroking while dry can lead to friction and unpleasant consequences 😅 if you stroke too hard... you may prematurely blow an airline 😏 it's best to find a partner to help you stroke as stroking alone can be a frustrating experience 😆 🤣 💀

So the correct way of measuring brake stroke is with the service brakes applied only correct?

You can still get a violation if they don’t fit the guidelines.

When you got your CDL, you were trained to check the brakes on your pretrip, and had to recite that step when you had your pretrip inspection test prior to taking the road test. You, the driver of the CMV has the responsibility to verify and sign the DVIR stating that the vehicle is safe to drive. And THAT includes checking to make sure the brakes are in adjustment. Or not, if you want to be like that clown who killed those people at the bottom of the mountain in Colorado... 3 square meals and a cot for life!
