    I’m definitely a very timid driver. I’ll have to give the rear brakes a good inspection. Thanks for the tip!

    Could I use the emergency brake to test how well the rear brakes are working? Cause I tried the emergency brake earlier and the truck didn’t slow down much. But maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be idk.

    Just wanted to mention caliper rebuild kits. There cheap and can save you $$ down the road. I now rebuild the seals whenever I change the pads. Still using 20 year old calipers no issues as long as there is no pitting of the metal. Usually just a wipe down and cleaning are required. I usually touch up the caliper paint when there allready removed
