    Brake parts can be troublesome for sure.

    I need to do the fronts on our 1995 K 2500 Suburban as the pads are getting down and the brakes pull slightly to the left.

    Bought new calipers as well as pads.

    The rotors are smooth and there is no other issues.

    Likely one caliper is getting a tad sluggish causing the pull... On hot days things are smooth and even and when it's colder it pulls slightly.

    At 213,000 miles on the clock I guess its earned the right to have an issue or two.

    Truck runs good and has zero rust anywhere (no salt)

    Replaced the power steering pressure hose Friday as its been dripping since winter :(

    Always something eh ???

    I have had really good luck with Auto zone stuff and they guarantee it.
    Used to use NAPA brake rotors, but they have been junk of late.

    I need to replace the RH front wheel bearing assembly as well as the brake parts.

    And the rains are here now.:picard:

    Yesterday was what looks to be the last dry and warm day for a while, so I decided to get the stoves ready for action.
    Vacuumed them out and cleaned them good.

    Looks like by tomorrow we will likely be needing a fire.

    Summer be over

    On the way: Delayed
    Your package is still on the way, but it will arrive later than originally expected due to a transit delay.


    Well, who lost their bet.

    I filled one of my 20 lb. propane tanks today and was a little shocked with what it cost. It seems propane has jumped from $1.99/gal. to $2.99/gal. in the last month. I assume it hurricane related. I hope nobody heating with propane needs to fill up anytime soon.

    Might be too late for this season, but anyone heating with propane should look into this buying group.

    otchoice.com

    I use to use them for oil but stopped when I went all in on pellets. Now my only provider choice from them is Eastern and I will not buy from Eastern.
    I know they have Fieldings in Maine as one of their providers. :yes:
