Tacos in St. Louis area

Stealing

 

Heyo squeaky springs. Every time there's a little dip. Wonder what others not in the know are thinking with all that racket.

 

I mean, my truck squeaks almost as much as @G.T. 's ever since I went swimming in it....

 

Race car parts make race car sounds.

 

Went to leave for work this morning. Cold af.

Put the parking brake lever down, completely loose. Parking brake is locked up big time with no cable pull from the handle. And it's way to early to make calls about rides and way too cold to try and pull things apart. Fml.

Update: it moves in 2lo, but the brake is still seized. Even in reverse.

 

Yeah, that sucks. Haven't had it happen to me on the Taco, but on a previous truck with drums.
Maybe hammer the inside of drum, maybe bust something loose enough to break it free?

 

BFH solves all problems

 

A Booty Full Hoe?

 

Exactly

 

Mine has been messed up somehow for the past few days. The cable in one side is ever so slightly pulled and the light goes on and off as I drive usually it will switch on or off when I hit a bump. Drum isn’t hot after driving so it isn’t engaged at all just one side froze while just barely pulled I guess.

 

Or after a quick google I am low on brake fluid maybe.

 

Half the stuff I found was about adjusting 1st gens lol

Got em loose with more convincing in 2lo, then drove the brake pedal to the floor, swear I felt the springs give up their tension on the parking brake. Anyways, it's driveable now, gona have to find time to yank it apart and lube/grease/replace/adjust whatever is going on.

 

It’s a fairly common issue. I dont know that theres really a fix aside from beat on it until it lets go then hope it doesnt happen again.

Since my trucks been mostly parked these days, i havent even set the parking brake. I’ve just been leaving it in gear in the garage.

I dont know that I’ve ever had the issue but i know quite a few people that have had it lock up on a cold morning. A little persuasion and then the are good.

 

3rd winter I've had the truck, 1st time it's happened.

I park on an incline, but my rear tires are against a substantial curb, so I think I'll stop using it at night when it gets ball bustingly cold.

If anyone bothered to do some math on the roam cases. The capacity are not accurately advertised and that was the response I received.
