Abstract: The present invention is directed to a wheel end assembly having a high temperature warning system for giving a warning in the event that the temperature in the assembly reaches a predetermined value such as caused by hub bearing failure or a brake related failure. In one embodiment the system may be a stand-alone system for installation on any vehicle such as a trailer. In another embodiment the system may be combined with an automatic tire inflation system.

Abstract: A brake wear indicator, which in one aspect is clampable to a push rod of a brake and having an indicator member contactable with or affixable to a brake housing or other member of a vehicle, the indicator member contained in and freely movable from a hollow cartridge and being exposed upon actuation of the brake and movement of the push rod and being returned into the cartridge upon deactivation of the brake; in one aspect the indicator indicating brake overadjustment and having readjustment indicia; and in another aspect the hollow cartridge having a closure member for closing off an end thereof after the insertion of an indicator member or other items e.g. a spring, therein.
