Cool

Hello all,,,,, thought I'd introduce myself, just joined this "Forum", been poking around a bit, going to be starting a front brake job, on my 97 F250HD, just turned 45K on the mileage, did a Tire Rotation a few weeks ago, Front's are at about 25% +/-, this will be the 1st brake job on this Truck, I'll check the rears, but in the past on my 76 F250 4x4 High-Boy, I would get about 2, maybe 3 Front Jobs to 1-Rear,,,,, that is if I kept those rear brakes spooned-up to about 2-clicks on the E-Brake that is,,,,,,, I found that keeping those Rear-Brakes Adjusted that way, I got the Best life out of the whole Truck's Brake System.

Olds is not up yet. Had to deal with one of my brand new Blizzak snow tires on my Chrysler being destroyed...someone thought they could make it home on a flat. Ruined the tire that had about 250 miles on it and I just paid $876 for the set of four on October 5th. Nobody in the state has a matching tire so I had to order it off tirerack and it'll be here next week.

Still have heat tapes to do also....it never ends.
