Fixed the ESOF!
Almost 10 year old vacuum hose that was probably finished off when I did my brakes and probably stretched it past its limit.
On a side note, I'm having a hard time typing tonight. Wonder why:
I smashed my ring finger between a pecan log and the corner of the wood spliter as I was setting the log on the splitter. This was thru my glove too. It is some kind of painful.

Oh, I killed a few birds at a time yesterday.
I apperently didn't get one of the bolts tight enuf on the passenger front caliper the last time I had the brakes off and it fell off going down the road. I knew right away what it was. Replaced that.
While off, I replaced the ESOF vacuum line on both sides because, as you can see, one was done.
I had just recently put new calipers on all 4 corners and was already starting to get that nasty rust color on the surface so I blasted all the calipers, rotor edges, rotor center, and hub with some black rattle can paint. Looks great now. Too bad you can't really see it thru the 2000 XLT wheels.
I also replaced the rear pads with Hawk Superduty pads.
And, while everything was off, I rotated the tires front to back.
Oh, later, since I had rotated the tires and since I run a little more pressure in the rear than the front, I checked/filled all the tires on my Excursion, Durango, small trailer, long trailer, and dump trailer. (Plus I had just swapped out a wheel to the spare on the long trailer as I picked up some large bolt in the tread.)

It's just a vacuum line. I replaced it with some line from Auto Zone.
