Thats what I was curious about too. Just Google the terms, hit images then go pop the hood and see what matches.
Make sure you rig for quick stop or all your items will be everywhere!I use mine as a poor man's RV. It has your basic set of tools for fixing an old idi, a few bags of charcoal, a grill, some camp chairs.. the bench seat in the back now folds out to about a queen size bed.
I was told to always use the emergency brake so that it doesn't seize up and the cable stays in working order. (It was stuck when I got the vehicle.)
It's not about the e-brake holding the vehicle in place (i.e. shoes to drums, there is an electrical switch up in there on the pedal that can work loose. and possibly trigger the dash light.)
Your recall may have been taken care of by the previous owner.
Do you have a trailer hitch on your truck? sometimes the brake light wiring can cause problems.
Also .. follow all the rubber hoses that go to that 'tree' connector on the top of the firewall, on the driver side, under the hood. It is about 5" long, with several rubber hoses coming off it. Check the condition of those.
RE: ABS.. I have the dash light for it.. but don't know if it is wired for it, never stomped the brakes that hard.. maybe I should.. I have all the buttons for cruise control on the steering wheel too, turns out... they're all dummy switches.
Out of curiosity.. what sort of MPG do you get?
and with 150K, are those the original injectors?
I've had this happen before! Haha!Make sure you rig for quick stop or all your items will be everywhere!

This is interesting as I have On/Off and Resume/Set Accel/Coast buttons on my steering wheel and they are all fully functional for the cruise control. There is no airbag in the wheel. Pull your cover off the wheel to access the nut that holds the wheel on, as well as the wiring for the buttons. Maybe the plug inside is disconnected?I have all the buttons for cruise control on the steering wheel too, turns out... they're all dummy switches.

It's not too bad. I can get between 350-400 miles per tank depending on how much I'm in the mountains. If I'm in the mountains driving that goes down considerably. 14 and 10 is driving in and around the Denver area.Your fuel mileage sounds pretty good to me considering your vehicle.
Wowzers 12k all day in Denver N/A? I got fed up with my N/A pulling a trailer that left me around 12k combined, and that was here in Western Wa with less than 500ft of elevation average. Considering Denver's thin air, your mileage is definitely good.It's not too bad. I can get between 350-400 miles per tank depending on how much I'm in the mountains.

Haha don't get me wrong, if I want to drive it hard I can easily fill up every 275 miles I tend to take it easy on the accelerator because that gas pedal is my biggest bill right now haha! I'd rather drive a bit slower and have more in the budget for my own fuel/food!Wowzers 12k all day in Denver N/A?

It's amazing how much that little stuff can add up.I'd rather drive a bit slower and have more in the budget for my own fuel/food!
