PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

I'm hearing a total of 8 people died at this show. Terrible.

 

Never been to Wildwood...

$780 for everything on my truck, including new thermostat and new from brakes!

 

Sweet. U happy?

 

I really don't, especially not after what I just found out. One of my calipers is seized and the other is pretty damn close. The new calipers won't be in until tomorrow, so that's an extra $400 and I have to pick it up tomorrow morning now...

 

And this happened in the last couple of weeks because it passed inspection 5 days before it overheated and the calipers weren't seized...

 

At least it's fixed now, didn't know you were having brake issues too.

 

You think it's worthwhile to upgrade to 2-piston, 3-piston, or even 4-piston calipers? My truck only has single-piston calipers...

 

Still beats the shit outta $3100 and longer waiting for it

Which means ultimately less money, since you would burn through the pads/rotors much faster.

 

I have done this fairly recently and enjoyed it muchly..though the song title is appropriate too

 

So, the red aftermarket calipers I got from Rock Auto turned out to be junk, but I think that I found a solution...

 

And yes; I'm guessing that's where you got your obsession with jumping shitboxes from?

 

I'd just stick with stock, a larger caliper may require different wheels.

 

Not worthy, stock components were fine for +150k

 

I got the truck back today. Front calipers and pads are brand new, and it runs great. Slight smell of antifreeze, which is likely due to some being spilled somewhere on the the engine and burning off...
