Nope. I bet I could have one of those stupid driving car insurance monitors and have no issues. And I'm not a blue hair like ya'll that drive with both feet either.

 

Yahta yah teata i think you need to go try your front bike brakes. Hard as you can.

 

I gots a geo metro that is doing nothing but taking up space.

 

Save it for the next gas shortage and sell it for $9k on the ebays like the last time that happened.

 

One problem. No engine.

 

@3378jakesr5 your rear brakes only do about 25% of the braking force, give or take. Your rear axle housing is bent causing the rear drum to act like it is out of adjustment. Your braking system requires more volume then required because of the extra distance the shoes need to travel to level out on the drum. You need a rear axle. Is that your whole issue, no. I think you have a miss-matched system so there still might be more volume issues with the front brakes. We went over this once though, too many Dr. Pepper's makin you loose yo mind?

 

better gas mileage.

 

I am sorry but your 33k and pad picture proves that you double foot. Probably stomp the brake pedal too causing ABS to activate as well and press harder to try to get it to stop.

Look at the others with zero ABS issues and 60k+ OEM brake pads. This one is on your foot, and your foot only.

 

No dr pep. Just a thump on the head the last time i drove the 91.

 

Tires are my brakes

 

This is a regular occurrence. (Like almost every corner)

How much braking force do you think that rear brake is providing?

 

tell me about it. stock gears and 35s. I can take my foot off the gas and i drop all speed

 

Let's clarify. On hard roads you would mainly use your front, but on loose it should shift to more rear. Easier to control a rear tire skid than a front.

 

Look at others who never take their vehicles off road.

My truck isn't a garage queen, and is used. 60k on OEM pads is great, and 60k on OEM tires is as well.. but those also indicate that the vehicle is used (or not used) slightly different.

I also do have quite a bit of weight that the average truck doesn't carry around daily.

 

Here lets brake this down even more....

How much do you think this brake is providing.

 

Bet we're talking about comparable square footage.

 

Maybe if I smacked you upside the head again it will fix you?

 

Tried that. Had to repeat calc 2.

 

The others here that are not having issues with ABS and have great OEM pad life have extra weight everyday and are used off road on a regular basis. Your argument is invalid sir.
