  1. Just for the halibut if you're still having issues, Check your battery cable connections on both ends, frame and battery. May want to slightly loosen the bolts just enough to rotate either end a little then tighten them back up again. Do the same with the start wire. Worse case would be the starter going out? Rare but does happen.Have a garage check it out?
  2. Well that goes with common sense too I guess. In a Hiway vehicle yeah, 5 or 10 psi below the maximum is usually more than enough. But then again, if you load it up for a trip across the country you should definitely raise the air up a bit. In general air it up for the usage you're driving most of the time and the tire wear should be good. I used to drive quite a few miles so I kept an eye on the wear. With my PU and trailer when loaded I did find that it handled much better at the max rated psi. Off road smaller UTV and the like usually the tires have a much stiffer sidewall anyway and it's not like you'll be doing 70+ MPH with it for hours on end.
  3. Yup, as been mentioned it's way too high. They're pretty stiff sidewalls so you can get away with the lower psi. I think I only use around 6 or 8 psi in my Landmaster and seem to be wearing ok. Be aware tho that most tire manufacturers state the max weight when stating the air pressure. For example, in a car you have passengers in all the seats and a full trunk. Most people don't drive year round like that. Unless I'm doing heavy work I rarely have the max pressure even in my tractors. The low profile tires on cars are a bit more finicky tho, just have to experiment.
  4. If no single tire locks up I would try taking the master cylinder off and flushing it out with new brake fluid. Just let it squirt out and see if it got clogged. If you’re handy then I would take it apart also and check if the seals are still good. It would be odd if all 4 caliper/slave cylinders would all be bad at the same time. Just for the halibut I would also make sure the main brake lines haven’t been crunched by seeing how much brake fluid comes out of each wheel? Do they bleed the about the same amount of fluid? That’s my guess, good luck…..
