    Stuck caliper

    I wanted to bleed the system but I had no one to pump the pedal. I couldnt do it so I had to make due. I dont drive the truck ever really, I am out of town 5 days a week and it just sits there. Ill bleed the brakes next weekend.

    Stuck caliper

    Pulled the wheel off today and pulled the slides. They were in there pretty good but didnt fight me. However they were pretty dirty and there was no signs of any anti seize applied to them. Si I cleaned em up and put a liberal amount of AS on em. Now it no longer sticks, but my brakes are soft...

    Stuck caliper

    Im gonna throw a c clamp on it and see if I can get it to stick again. If it does I am going to try and borrow a heavy duty jack and stand. I have the Harbor Freight 3 ton steel low profile jack and that seems to work well, maybe I will go buy their heavy duty one too for the truck. Just cant...

    Stuck caliper

    Just would be in town, a 5 min drive at 25-30 MPH. Truck hasnt hauled anything really heavy since I have owned it. Just used it to pick up a car a couple times with a car hauler. Just little imports though. Trailer had good brakes on it. I might just go buy a set of stands and jack that can...

    Starter/wiring question

    I have 0G laying around and new terminals so I am going to fix the grounds for sure. I wouldn't think it a dirty solenoid because It hasn't even had a chance to get dirty, unless its bad. I know I need to change at least one terminal, its corroded. However there was a length of factory...

    Starter/wiring question

    I changed the starter in my truck about a week ago. It had an old mitsu unit in it that died. I put in the new nippon denso style one that many refer to as a high torque starter. Before I did that, I changed out my positive battery cable for one I made, solid copper lugs, soldered and crimped...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It wasnt bad, was almost 50 out that day, and I have had the starter out before to change the solinod on it. Had the starter out in a couple mins, took longer to find a replacement.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I had to do the starter in a parking lot. Than my speedo quit working immediately....

    aquired 20 gallons of pink colored marine diesel fuel. anyone ever used it???

    I bet with the money they pay everyone to oversee the the ORD fuel is being used legally could just cut some of the taxes back and not let it matter. And if its their policy to not dip anything older than 1980 thats something good to know.
