Oddly enough my passenger rear caliper had one of its pistons seize yesterday as well. I got to spend a few hours replacing both my rear ones today. So nice to have super smooth brakes again. I had replaced all other brake componets within the last year except these calipers. so now we should be good for some miles...

Nice fix BTW to the op.

C'mon Tug, drifting off course, hijacks, and plain 'ol diverging directions always happen in a thread. That doesn't make it an OT thread.

I can't escape being an ***, so my choices were dumba55 or smarta55.

I've posted a few pics in the past. I loaded them into my computer from the camera, then to my gallery and into a post. Can't remember how though. It would be easier if I had a smart phone, but gave my up grade to my wife. I can get one in march. The pics from my flip phone are not good at all. Yes, I said flip phone, I can just imagine the laughter,, but I'm low tech. I'll do my best to catch up.

I have AAA member service towing. It covers both the truck and my fifth-wheel. I have had both the truck and fifth-wheel towed home (approx 80 miles) at the same time without any extra charges. You might want to look at what towing package you have and see if you would have been covered.

It's a phone, not a roam entertainment center. 12 buttons, a microphone, and a speaker... everything you need in a phone. I work with technology all day, every day... it's nice to just dial and talk. My kids give me the giggles when I flip the phone, but my time with them is not interrupted by text messages to me.

Curious how the brakes felt with only 3. Prolly wouldn't be such a great idea on the front.

I couldn't feel any difference, but yes, if was the front you would have to pay attention and anticipate.

I'll have to check on that. I have the premier plan and has 200mi towing, but don't remember if it covers trailers. Thanks for the heads up.
