Topic: While thrashing on the car dont neglect your tow vehicle!!!!
My PSA of the week. We all get so wrapped up in making sure the car is ready that sometimes we forget to do a quick check of the tow vehicle.
We're heading out of NJ to Fla for GRM on Wednesday so this week I decided to take a look at the tow vehicle (93 Chevy C3500 1 ton quad cab dually for reference)
Yeah...hydroboost was leaking, nothing like loosing power steering and brakes all at once while towing.
Then the brakes themselves....this might have been an issue
Caliper is siezed up solid. The problem with a big torqey 454 tow vehicle is it just powers through it and you dont realize you have a stuck brake.
The upside is with GM parts you can get a loaded caliper for the same price or less than a new set of pads. Wish the hydroboost was cheap too but ahhh well its done now and we may live to fight another day.
OTTER: "I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part."
BLUTO: "We're just the guys to do it."
