I always go by my brake fluid level. Mine is about an eighth of an inch below full right now after 72,000 miles

Pulling the wheels off today and will update once I look, I'm curious with all the feedback saying that should be OK

He was nice guy I knew him here only on the forum but I just hope at least some people learned from his mistake. Please take the time to read about how to properly jack your vehicle up.

Anyone know where to send flowers for the showing?

 

 

LOL...I just got done with completely going over my Rig from front to back....40K everything changed except the Tranny and coolant....I looked at my pads for shits and giggles they appear to have 3/4 pad remaining to marginal wear and the brake fluid is a **** hair below line I marked when new......So, Yeah working on and around trucks requires decent jacks and and stands. Apparently his go to Harbor Freight 1.5 ton blew a seal?

Wonder if all of our bad advice was what got him killed, maybe the pads were so thin he simply lost brakes and that was all she wrote?

Maybe since he said he had to borrow a jack since his was too small, he jacked up a corner and didn't have a jack stand and the jack failed to only have the rotor bang into the floor/ground. And now he's mad that he has to buy another rotor and too embarrassed that it happened.

Still here - I headed out of town before I could borrow a strong enough jack - and I have jack stands that are 4 ton, so I should be OK there. Stay tuned...

lugs are 120 I thought.

Caliper bolts are just 'tight'.

I'm sure there's a torque spec, but it's really not needed.

 

Looks like I was wrong, 140ft lbs

      Gas Prices

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By wxman13 · Posted

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
