it does, ive seen it...

 

Simple version of that mod is a 5/8" ball valve in the heater core supply line shut it in spring open it in fall.

1/2" valve would work if you tightened the hose clamps enough.

 

The valve is only like 20 bucks

 

Brakes are done. I am amazed at how bad they were, although the lack of proper braking for the last year and half should have been a give away. The outsides of all of them were getting on in ages but passable. The insides of all 4 were a completely different matter. Had I had the rotors turned when I first replaced the pads 3 years/30k miles ago, things might have turned out differently. All in all I'm just glad to be done with this project and with any luck I should be able to manage a power brake now.

This was the worst of them. Rear passenger side.


Pads from said rear passengers side.


Front drivers side.

 

Yeah I'd say u were due...

 

Ouch! I still gotta narrow down the squeal from the front right, its gotta be brakes cause it goes away when i hit them, and goes away if i take rotor+caliper off. hmmm

either way, just washed the outside and cleaned the inside of my truck. smells good inside again

 

holy crap greg....i bet it feels awesome now!
