Post the output from the following commands:

From the Linux box (don't add the dollar sign, that's your shell prompt):

$ /bin/cat /proc/meminfo


From your Windows box (two commands):

c:\> mem /d
c:\> cscript c:\windows\system32\pagefileconfig.vbs

EDIT: Post the output of the DOS commands in [ code ] [ /code ] tags (remove the
leading & trailing spaces). This will keep the spacing of the output when it's rendered in
browsers. Easy way: select all the text you've pasted, click the # button in the toolbar
(at least, it claims to work that way).

I don't see how it's possible for them to get any worse.

Its not, the pistons popped out of the caliper.

Then the pedal went to the floor, then he sold it $1,000 less than it was worth.

I should have hung it on my wall, I think I already sold it to the scrap yard.

After you just changed just one caliper and had no problems, I tried it and it is great.

soon as I redo the motor I will have it back on the road.

50 miles after I got it the motor blew a head gasket.

Well that's not good.
My truck is burning through oil too fast, I can't take it anymore. I parked it for 3 days and I swear the entire motor drained out onto my driveway.

No luck on fixing that leak yet

The oil pan.
I replaced the gasket twice now, new bolts, had it checked to make sure it wasn't warped, but still, it leaks like mad.

From the front or the back? I'll bet you a nickle the reason you can't fix it is it's not the oil pan but a seal, especially if it's the back.

well I know the seal is bad also, but there is a leak on the pan itself. i can wipe the whole pan down, degrease it, and less than half a day later it will be covered in fresh oil.
The leak from the seal isn't all that bad actually, it seemed to have been worse when i got the truck, it's slowed down over time though.
