    brakes go to floor, pulling rt, shaking... caliper? Nope

    Those symptoms point to a frozen caliper right? and yet upon inspection today brake fluids full; none leaking on the tire (I had a froz caliper yrs ago on a Pontiac).

    WHOO HOO! Oil change!

    about noise... I bought my truck with a hood deflector attached but the corner was cracked. I took it off after 2 weeks cos it impeded my hood opening. I didnt realize it helped deaden the noise till it was gone. I have to get another one! I did put on window vent shades and they help some.
