Different shops charge different labor rates. Most shops will provide an estimate before any work is done.
The national average for ASE mechanic’s is about $95 per hour flat rate for labor.
If you can find a shop that works on big trucks, that might help. Their lifts can easily accommodate your rig.
I found a RV repair shop here in New Mexico that will do it. thanks for the insight.

Not brake destroying temps. Ask them if they can check the rear shoes from the sight hole in the back of the wheel. The big cost is those rear brakes because of the work involved. If you can get away with only doing the front it shouldn't be too much. Truth is there no way for us to give you a price. Is there fluid. That you can check.

I can't check anything because its at a shop right now and I'm at an Air Bnb but ill be able to on Tuesday. Thanks for all the insight btw I really do appreciate it.

The parts are all there on the Oreilly's website. Like I said just pick the ones for a 1 ton rear wheel drive.
On Rock Auto just click through the categories in brakes and pick the 1 ton rear wheel drive or cab and chassis- camper.

Either you can access on your phone and show the shop the right ones.
If something isn't clear, hit us up. As you've noticed we answer pretty quickly.
Cost will not be cheap. Rear axles must be removed to work on the rear brakes and you're going to need new axle seals too. While it's all apart repack bearings too

Do you have zero brakes? A little? Helps to know how much really needs to be done.
Awesome thanks so much! I have a little left in my brakes they're not entirely shot. When EMS arrived they said the temp was 210 on the rear axle but the front axle was a lot cooler but still too hot. do you have any idea as to how much this could cost me or its pretty unclear given the info I've provided?

Well since you don't know what you need yet, might be a good idea to buy local. Shops don't like waiting for parts. Most everything you can buy at Oreilly's. Under each item it says the truck it fits. Your looking for 1 ton rear wheel drive

Under rotors and drums I don't remember the size of our rotor but I'm sure one of these is right and there is one drum listed as for rear dually wheels

Also if the rear is 4 wheels am I still looking for a 1ton or half ton?

Thx linda! yea I just wanted a list of parts that work for the RV I wasn't going to buy them. Just wanted the names of the parts so I can give them to the shop so they can source them themselves. I'm stuck in NM and everyone keeps telling me they can't fix something or they can't find something and I refuse to take no for an answer. So thanks for helping me out fr!

If everything under there is looking original your brake system is getting old regardless of miles. Shop inspection will let you know what you need. Don't be surprised if they come back saying you need everything considering the age of the machine if it hadn't been done prior. I'd flush the brake fluid, and make sure there are no fluid leaks anywhere, and get pads up front, and shoes and springs in back at a minimum. Then save for a more complete brake job including front discs, calipers, hoses, rear brake cylinders. Look that master cylinder over for leaks to.
Also Scott how much would something like this cost do you think?

Did you have any fluid left? Just overheating would leave you with some brake after cooling. No brakes at all mean no fluid. Might need wheel cylinders. You won't know how many till you get in there

I get it checked out at the shop Tuesday. they'll tell me. I'm just concerned they'll tell me they can't find the parts so I'm trying to source them ahead of time to solve any potential hiccups. so what are all the components of the brakes that could potentially need to be replaced (just incase)? and then can I source all of them off rock auto?

Ok first thing is no more mountains 🤡
Real starting point is NEW rotors and HD brake pads. Ceramic pads and new rotors run $150 and up at Rockauto. Your looking for a set for Toyota 1986 DRW pickup.
IF you have the REAL 1 ton rear axle, if you have doolies then a normal 1/2 pickup
Next is very important the "Engine,Transmission, Drive line section" of the forum has a LONG post titled "Load Sensing Proportional Valve"... This is a very important read.
The factory pickup has a brake bias valve on the rear axle. It thinks your driving an empty pickup so, to stop rear wheel skids, it shifts most of the brake effort to the front.
BUT you have a full MH so you need to fool the valve into thinking you have a fully loaded pickup so it shifts more brake to the rear wheels. With the weight of your house and dual rear wheels you can't shift to much brake effort to the rear. In fact if you read the post about the valve you will find owners who removed the valve completely.
Okay so I know nothing about Cars or RV's and I'm just getting my feet wet I'm a 26 year old kid from Connecticut. That being said I'm super appreciative of the insight you've managed to give me thank you!
That being said what kind of traffic do I need to restrict this motorhome to?
- So I'm looking for a 1/2 pickup then because its 4 in the back and two in the front. Also how do I navigate this rock auto site I feel like such a noob. is this the right section?
- Okay awesome ill read that now. that's good to know. really thank you so much.
- I think I may have just put too much continuous stress on the motorhome I was planning on driving it from Connecticut to Los Angeles over 15 days and this happened on the 12th day.

Did they fail because they overheated, have a hydraulic failure or just wore out due to lack of maintenance??
Overheated

Help I bought a 1986 Toyota Granville. The brakes failed on me while driving down a 13 mile mountain pass in New Mexico and I ended up in a ditch next to someone’s driveway. Thankfully i think I can get her back on the road but I’m just trying to make sure I can get the proper brakes for her. If anyone knew what parts are required for me to get my Granville back on the road that would be huge since I live out of my rv full time.

So I have to ship my Granville from ABQ to CT to retitle it from salvage (total loss) to rebuilt. Does anyone know of cross country RV shipping services?
