for those of you interested, I ended up troubleshooting, found voltage at the brakes was good and just decided to swap out the brake assemblies instead of trying to troubleshoot the magnets, etc. One side had been over greased, and there was some grease on the pads, but after swapping out the assemblies it’s still wouldn’t completely lock up, although it would stop the whole truck in a reasonable distance, could smell the brakes. So I’m sure they were working fine, took it back to the DMV, different inspector saw them functioning and didn’t think twice about it and passed it .
