Keystone State Thread

Situational awareness is key. Too many people walking around with their heads buried in their phones and don't notice danger until it's too late.

Being prepared and capable to deal with trouble is next.

 

My .02 on Iran controversy.

1. Depending on the accuracy of the intelligence it was a high value target that was effectively taken out with minimal to zero civilian lives taken=success
2. The target of the attack was of high value and highly respected in the regime. There will be some sort of retaliation, however Iran has been extremely good at having others carry out their work. We will see an attack or at least a facet of the republic will claim to have attacked american troops. I agree with @GrittyTaco @Anchovy, there is too much risk for Iran to attack on american soil. That would most likely spark WW3.
3. No good comes of this, Trump is too hot headed to diplomatically handle this. It will escalate, and I think Iran may even use that to bait him into a situation in order to garner global support. With that being said, I am also glad that we took a more aggressive stance in foreign policy, especially with Iran. I think it sends a strong message to north korea as well. In the end this may bring us into a war with Iran, which in my opinion is where the middle east war should have started to begin with. In war no one wins.

 

Good luck and congrats!

Wife got me a pro grille for Xmas! (I know it’s over played but I like it and it’s my truck so )

 

Also hit 1,000 miles on my way to dump my oil from the first oil & filter change.

 

Absolutely! LTCC people!

 

Any other 3rd gen owners here experience issues with their brakes ? Specifically the rear brakes, sometimes almost feeling like they are binding espeically in city traffic ?

 

Happy New Year Y'all.

 

Not quite. I had issues with parking brake getting stuck, not recently though. I guess not the same thing as your issue. Unless you're braking with your parking brake while moving in traffic, then yeah, it will not want to let go right away

 

This is just standard braking. I found a tsb for a similar issue but I’m trying to find others who’ve had this issue. It’s beyond frustrating because the truck only has 23k on it now, bought it at 19k and I was fighting a issue then. I didn’t see anything to indicate a issue in the trucks service history outside of standard maintenance

 

OK, I understand. Not same thing for sure.
But if you actually found the tsb, try to get it fixed.



Out of curiosity, could you post that tsb?

 

sure, it’s T-SB-0023-19

 

Hmm. Not a small job. As long as it's "covered", no big deal. Maybe you'll even score a rental during repairs!
Good luck

 

Edit - I should have read Seb's post first.

One time and one time only, my 17' Sport rear seized up to the point I drug one tire. I reversed and drove forward again and it was fine, and it never did it again. In the trucks defense, I always use my parking brake, it had been sitting outside, it had rained numerous times, it was fairly new so brakes were likely tight to begin with.

Even to this day, if I put either of my vehicles away wet and they sit the rotors will develop enough surface rust to make you wonder as I back down my driveway.

If it persists you can try jacking it up and spin each tire. It could be the emergency brake cable adjustment is off.

 

Funny how after 15 years The body says time to get up !!

No matter how much I would like to sleep in to 0430 once in a while!

 

woke up to pee at quarter of five. Still up. Can’t flip the switch back to off.
