Truck problems.

EliteBSU · 03-11-2007, 10:01 PM

I've been too rough on my pickup, and not giving it love and attention in between beatings.

been having horrible brake problems lately. its always sounded like disk breaks so i took the front tires off and they looked fine. then my genius gene kicked in and i looked thru the rear rims and seen they were also disk brakes.

Got the rears off and holy shit. interior break pad is non-existant on the passanger side. the rotor is chipped and cracked. the rotor has huge teeth marks in it. not likely it can be saved.

havent even tried the driver side yet, but i bet its just as bad.

I take horrible care of my pickup. broke the 4 wheel drive. needs a new starter. now rear brakes

well the crack wore off and i checked the back tires.

didnt know my rears were also disk brakes. they were tore up like nothing else. one pad was down to the metal, both rotors were ripped to hell.

so two days ago i ripped it down, and had to wait to get my parts since the store closed. yesterday i put new pads and rotors in the rear. she doesnt make a sound while breaking now.

4 wheel and starter yet to work on

yeah, but i dont know why you wanted them pictures of me covered in bearing grease and no shirt.

actually i have hardly any wrench time under my belt. i just have a manuel for my pickup, so it makes it pretty easy to get right.

my friend says it might be a bent fork. i probably had it in gear when engaging 4wd and bent the fork that gets pushed into the gears.

newer chevy, 02. so it has that pushbutton BS. had i gotten the 98 i would have a cloth bench seat and lever 4wd.

maybe in a month i'll have it looked at

I've never seen that problem in a Ford

check engine light on? if so just run a computer code, it'll tell you most problems straight up right there. only problem is, a scanner runs like $500 bucks ... that don't sound like too bad of a problem but guaranteed it'll be a bitch to fix.

thats cause 3/4th the parts on a ford could be recalled.

So my uncle is going to look at it this week. he used to be a mechanic, still is, i dunno.

he went and ordered an actuator. which i'm pretty well certain isnt the problem.

then he told my old man it might be the differential, now my old man wont get off my ass about how much money i have and how i should get rid of it and get a new truck.
