I think I jumped the gun a little bit Sorry for the delay in posts, there was a tough and unexpected death in our family -- so my thoughts and priorities have been elsewhere in the past few weeks. Tony and DeRocha -- Thanks for the post; and the follow-up. However, I'm afraid I jumped the...

The Drums Yeah, that about sums it up. I took the rear brakes apart -- and all 4 drum shoes were severely cracked (and a rusted mess). I trusted they were fine since my usually trust-worthy mechanic gave them his check of approval. It was my front caliper that was damaged and had begun to leak...

Another bit of advice ~Just my 2 cents, but every reliable auto mechanic I've ever talked to has echoed Beauboy's exact same sentiments. I guess it varies in terms of a specific time schedule, but the consensus I've gathered seems to be that a full tank of premium unleaded gas works the best...

Hello everyone, First of all, just a quick reminder that I'm a rookie when it comes to car repair, so fell free to speak to me like a 12-year old. The front disk brakes went bad about 8 months ago. After having fixed a multitude of other problems with my truck, I chose to let it sit - and...
