What did you do with your truck/shop today

[RyanbabZ71]

Got gas Saturday morning and had the 5 gallon can slide on the tailgate and start spilling as I was trying to put it back in the bed. That factory spray liner is stiff and slippery on a cold day. Thankfully I wasn't too far from home and cleaned the truck up afterward.

Gm liner? Did you have line x prior?

Just ordered Silver brake kit ( http://www.crossdrilledrotors.ca/silver-slotted-sl-brake-kits.html ) from Canada, can't wait to check it ( read many positive reviews in the web ). Also planning tomorrow to change my seats on leather ones ( finally ).

Cross drilled rotors look cool but not in a road salt environment. They will start to rust and swell around the holes and become very noisy. Unless they are Stainless. Drilling also makes them susceptible to cracking.

Yea I don't prefer them, but they are the only rotors I've been able to keep on my Cruze without them warping/shaking.

Yeah, it's crazy. Seems like everything across the board is just going up, and up, and up ...

 

Definitely would be nice to be able to reload rimfire rounds. Could sit there and make thousands of them.

 

I bought a Rock Crusher a while back - still haven't used it for the Marlin ammo yet. I think I bought everything I needed, and then got sidetracked with some tough jobs - haven't looked at the stuff in 4 years!

 

I've also got a Hornady Lock N Load progressive press, with a case feeder. I can crank out pistol rounds with that like crazy. Think I hit close to 500 rounds an hour doing .45 ACP. Can really get it moving once you get a rhythm going. If I had a way to automatically keep the primer tube full, I'd be able to go even faster.

 

I haven't used it in a while. My wife hoards quilting supplies - it's buried right now ...

 

Just realized my cat Buddy is in the background there. RIP - miss the little guy. Best cat I've ever been around in my life. Was like half human, half dog. He weighed 21 lbs. when this pic was taken.

 

Check out my post in the guns section.

The trick there is to properly torque your wheel lug nuts to equal 100-110 ft-lb

Have done that all the time. Damn car eats brakes like there's no tomorrow, probably because the rear drums seem to do nothing. Put the slotted/drilled rotors on with semi-metallic pads and haven't had a problem yet. Been over 20k miles now. Even went from 16" to 18" rims in that time frame. I only got around 12k miles out of the stock brakes before they shook the hell out of the car.

I had a Permatech on the last 2. It seemed a bit more cushiony and less abrasive when crawling on it.

They also chew through your pads faster. I've stayed with solid rotors with EBC Yellows - thing stops pretty damn good for a 6k lb. truck.

 

I've got OEM GM shoes & drums in the rear, 2nd set in 88k miles. They're wearing a little funny though. The leading shoe is really thin, and the trailing shoe still hasn't worn in enough to use 100% of the friction surface. It's at about 75% now.
