Wandered down to Lowe's and picked up four new doors for the upstairs.

Fought a migraine all damn day. Looks like my CPAP mask came off in the middle of the night. When it does I get a migraine.

Woke up coughing around 4:45, and couldn't get back to sleep. Said screw it and came into the office at 5:30 to get stuff done.

I didn't move until 9:30 this morning. Spent the morning looking up and pricing suv's as my Trailblazer is causing me more and more problems and I'm about done with it.

Greetings, stranger.

Changed the oil in the Suburban. Going for the warm up ride, I stopped at the building and found the left front tire on the Regal flat. Pulled the wheel and brought it back to the garage for a look see. Inside bead had two very slow leaks, so I dismounted the tire, cleaned it all up and put it back on with a touch of bead sealer.

My wife was complaining about her brakes being noisy and a really bad sound when braking. Do you think this was the problem lol?



So I replaced rotors and pads in the front.

[pajeff02]

Lots of life in those! A guy I work with brought his wife's Subaru over a couple of weeks ago and her rear brakes looked even worse. She complained they were making some noise, but by the time she remembered to tell him they had been "making some noise" for about 2 months.

Had an '11 Ford F-150 on the lift tonight -- not sure what they call their cab sizes, but it was the full four door. Made it into the lift bay by 2" with the nose just about touching my work bench. We installed blocks and Bilsteins and raised it up just about 1-3/4" in the ass. Instructions said that trucks with a two-piece drive shaft may need the carrier bearing shimmed down (it is a 2 pc), but no specifics. We test drove it and there are no noises or harmonics. Thoughts?

Get to do the fronts sometime in the next few weeks - similar to the F-body setup so have to pull the whole assembly and then compress the spring.

Worse than no pad left one one of the pads lol? The metal part that is bonded to the pad was all there was on the inner pad on the driver side.

you did clean and lube the slides, didn't you?

[98TransAmWs-6]

No but I'll probably do that tomorrow. I ran out of time today. I am doing the rears tomorrow as well.

[pajeff02]

After I shut down and cleaned up from the Ford project, a Dodge with a 4.7 rolled in with a "hot smell". Turns out the driver side rocker cover was weeping oil onto the exhaust, so we snugged things up a bit and we'll see what happens. Not sure if the cover can be pulled without yanking the brake booster and a ton of other junk.
