Yes. I have been reading and once a month we are supposed to back up while engaging the parking brake. - A lot easier when you have a manual. Have any of you guys been doing that?
What have you done to your ride lately?

Nope I haven't been.
I'll do that tomorrow. Did you make sure that you adjusted the tension right? Not too tight and not too loose...just right.

I did. I'm even contemplating changing out the parking brake cables. Like my member, they may have been streched one too many times.
I am sure they have some enterainment over there. I will never forget the douche that thought he had a trophy truck and totaled it out at one of the CA races. Then got another and I that was totaled in a few months. I don't rember if the second truck was before or after he got popped for insurance fraud.
LOL... John reported that clown to the CA insurance fraud people

I have no idea how you can even tolerate to read the drivel that comes out of that place. Its not just bullshit, its ignorant bullshit.
Pretty much the only thing I check over there is the Tx classifieds. The rest they can have.

Same here. When it's not full of idle off topic banter. I went off about a month ago

The problem on my brake cables was the salt air corroding the metal and they broke off. You might want to check the connections where the cable goes into the drum.

Thank you my friend. I better get it quick then, before you get your truck back together and have a chance.

Do you need the seal as well or just the glass?

I'll check. At the same time I saw why I may have had taco lean. Driver side front leaf perch is now a slot. Gonna weld a large washer as a new hole.
Boy, for as much as I baby my truck, I certainly have my fair share of carnage.

I looked to see if I had a pic of where it broke off but I don't have one.

I've still got the seal from the one I busted out. I'll take the whole thing if you don't need it.

Oh nice!!!
Surprisingly my fix was amazingly simple. Just welded beads on top of eachother, grind and then re-drill the holes.
Oh nice!!!
Nice! I couldn't reweld the pot metal crap. Its sad they spec'd something like that for a life safety device

Well.. I suppose I shouldn't be upset, but after 7+ years the DieHard Platinum Marine battery in the back of the truck is not acting like it should. I've had it fully charged the past two nights and let the ARB fridge run off of it overnight (half loaded with sodas and Gatorade) and it hasn't had the balls to keep it going all night. Both days I've woke up to it at ~50 degrees. Battery taking a shit is probably, in a large part, my fault for not charging it like a marine battery (let it go almost fully dead and then charge back up) so I am not pissed. So I'll be off to Sears to pick up the biggest Platinum non-Marine battery they have. That being said during the day time that thing drops down to 26 degrees quick and stays there.. even sitting inside the cab cooking away.

Well looks like this is the one I'll be getting today. I ordered a new battery box and it should be here tomorrow because the one I have is not large enough.
