Hey Rick! How's it going?

It was a cool shop in reality to Troy. Seeing a bus in the air is always cool!

Sorry Troy, got distracted. I did learn. This stuff is quite new to me, so I learn a lot each time...

Have a good night!

Hello to anybody still around.

I did put the truck up on stands and gave both tires a bunch of spins and some good tugging and both sides "seemed" ok.

And gave the rotors a quick visual and they looked ok too. Not all messed up like last time. Maybe too early to tell?

Hey Jay!

Well likely not a wheel bearing problem then. Might be that rotor again. It was just a brake shake?

Could it be the pads goofing up the rotor?

It could be. It would be more along the lines of a caliper sticking some and over heating the rotor usually...

I would take measurements of all 4 corners and start from there. It also helps to just get it up in the air on jack stands and take a look over everything I've found.

Sounds like a cool shop. It sure would be nice to have a lift for working on the trucks during beet harvest. Something about jacking everything up just sucks.

I'd love to do that, but up here at school that would cost me money first off, as I don't have jack stands up here and I am really trying to avoid bringing it in to a shop. I'll try the corner measurements tomorrow if I get some time. Thanks!
