Resistance---Slow down
I have a 2000 Crew Cab 4x4 SRW PSD truck. When I let off of the pedal the truck seems to slow down a lot quicker than I like. I know that with about 8000 lbs of weight I have a lot of rolling resistance on the 285 Mud tires but it stills seems like something else.
I will be pulling the wheels and checking brakes and calipers. How hard should it be to push the pistons back into the calipers with a set of the quick grip clamps and the top off of the the fluid reservoir (tried with it on, once).?
I have checked all of the fluid levels and all are okay. I will be changing the front and rear diffs and the transfer case along the way.
Can the EBPV be hanging?
Some of the best mileage that I have gotten in the last 6 months was on a uphill trip, picked up my father in laws 28 tag camper and moved it half way back and then come home empty. I ran 60-70 loaded or unloaded on the trip and still averaged 16 when I filled up.
Thanks for any input.
