so do your brakes work better now. mines i have to stand on to get my truck to stop. though most of the time i just down shift. lol. i know my brakes are shot. though i've allready put new wheelbearings in the front. that was a job. though i blew through a couple of tires it was rattling so bad it was crazy. i got my truck it must have been sitting for 20 years all four tires and the spare dissintegrated before i put 1000 miles on it. pretty hairy looking tires came off one at a time. Pretty good truck . the 6.9 is like a tractor. not very fast though. my truck wont even spin the tires! But i used it to roll another truck on to it's side and cut the frame in half . no problem. 4low...forgettabout it. lol
