    Anybody know what the temp range of "Normal" is?

    I was wondering if anyone had figured out what the actual temps are for the "normal" meter in our trucks. Mine usually runs on "M" but if I'm working it hard it gets up to "A". Yesterday I was towing a trailer up some hills and I was thinking it would be nice to know what that actual temps...

    Emergency brake problem

    I've noticed recently that when I'm driving my 84 6.9l under 5 mph, it seems like there is a little bit of intermittent "whining" noise coming from what sounds like the rear wheels... it also seems like there is a little bit of grabbing happening at the same time. I haven't pulled the drums off...
