Well , Its all up to the van now to be ready , I guess, for jam , I couldn't figure out why the van was driving like crap , I honestly thought it was the wind . I got a stuck caliper , been driving with it like that for 100 kms like a frick'n moron , it never even dawned on me , No wonder the last 1/4 tank of gas went by so quick ! Also a steering box leak that is getting progressively worse !! Trailer needs to be inspected too I'll be in the shop all weekend ! , Sunday is my last day of wrenching / carpentry , unless its do or die mechanically On the hoist here now , gonna try and find one tomorrow  freak'n retard I is |

happened to the ford last year as well, kept stalling the damn thing out and didn't figure it out till I saw the smoke coming off the caliper; cost new caliper, rotor, and another set of pads, duh, and replacing a rotor on the F450, damn, damn, damn

Saw an 18 wheeler on the Circ the other day with a stuck caliper. The smoke coming from one of the rear wheels was bad and what a stink.  The guy never even slowed down, I passed him as to not get chunks of brake parts in my grill. Happened in Quebec to me, a backing plate from someones pad broke free and hit our rental. Didn't notice it until stopped for gas outside Montreal and Donna said there is a Ninja Star in the bumper. I look and there it is a 2" long piece of backing plate. Looked like a small throwing knife and somewhat sharp on the edges. Would have been worse if it went in the windshield.  |

Apparently I left a bunch of shit in the toolbox! Didn't realize the wheels were dinked though.

I have coined a new phrase for just these occasions "if it sits it sticks"  |
