True, because the pedal doesn't get hard to depress until after the first inch or so of travel, and between the ZF5 and the 4.10's dropping a gear can REALLY scrub speed

Well yo have more cajones than i do cause i couldnt drive mine like that for a weekend, especially manually downshifting an auto. I agree with you travis it sucks a lot to do that. And please fix it tonight, i really dont want to see another carnage thread with your nice new truck in it.

What are you, like 4' tall and weigh 100lbs? I'm not a big guy by any means, but I have no problems bringing 'er down without power brakes. Like I said as long as you don't drive EXPECTING to have power brakes and increase your braking distances you're golden.

Cut me a check for $11k and I'll leave it parked and walk home to ensure its safety

$11k is more than I paid for it, but if I'm going to sell it I'm going to make it worth the hassle
I'm 6'2" and only about a buck 190 (probably less now thanks to this stupid brace), all your strength must be in your arms from lack of female companionship?

When mine went I drove 2 days on bad brakes and then Bam. Blew front bearing out and she eat the belt to shreads in about 6sec at 2000rpms. Was a brand new belt too. Final cost with new belt was around 200 bucks.
