Yeah, manual trans and haven't noticed any issues with braking. It probably wouldn't hurt to do the rears, but they aren't squeaking yet.
I'm still falling in love...for now...

congrats on the retirement. what was your MOS? the curious want to knowI finally retired from the USAF on 1 Apr 2015, so I'm only about 2 weeks into real retirement. Looking to get a little more active on here again and have a little fun tinkering with her in between fishing trips

the run from NV to TX isn't that rough. I commute from central TX to Kali. there's no steep hills to speak of other than the grapevine and pacheco and you don't see either from los veggies.

My brake light keeps coming on, but I have realized they're a bit mushy. The sensors do go bad and aren't very expensive either. It's a good thing to don't have an auto, because it would be going ape ****. Lol

Sorry for the slow reply, but no, haven't noticed any braking issues. I'm not too ******* them as is, so maybe I need to try a few hard stops. Guess it could be time to do the rears. Dreading it too!

My mos was 3E7 Firefighter. Best job in the AF if you're enlisted! Can't remember where the big hills were on my drive from Vegas. Maybe over the south end of the Rocky Mtn range? I remember being over 10000 ft in certain areas (according to the GPS).
On a side note, I've been thinking about getting a 7.3 van, but the fella wants $3k for it. Seems like its in decent shape. Pretty sure it has the e4od trans and I'm a bit weary of those given them multiple threads. Thoughts?
you can always swap a ZF5 into it!

Don't know how comfortable I'd be doing a swap like that. Where the heck would the shifter even go?!? Would I have to get someone in the backseat to shift for me? Is there room for a master cylinder under the cramped hood?
No front seat shifting
Need pedals from manual van same era..should be MC for clutch there included.
It has been done and posted here search n yee shall find
