I don't remember that, so many brake threads lol. I recall attempting to help someone in the past, maybe a year ago or so, after referring him the Thermoquiets, he came back saying they were ceramic. Went to the Wagner site and sure enough he was right. Found the pads though, they're just called something else.. Yea, my memory is coming back now haha. I'm sure you can find them at their site, they're in Wagner's HD line.

The bad with ceramics they can cause excessive heat build up and fade..too hard of a pad for heavy trucks. 150's aren't really a heavy truck but they're right at the line AFA weight....past it if you're towing. Went through the debacle with my old truck years ago..seemed like a long ordeal that many years. The brake swap combined with the correct pads made a world of difference. No more fuss, they worked well and stayed that way.

No... just a joke. I actually was cited by Facebook for sharing an "intimate" image when I posted it. I disputed it and won.... I had been laughing about it all day, and wanted a person to put on the pic. So I made a joke to myself.... maybe I should 'splain it better, lol.

Guess I'm the only that didn't catch that...is what it be.

Recall your photo post. Also the guy accusing Frankie beginning as a $3000 car...something like that. That's one mixed up dude.

Kind of interesting stats. I'd hope for 75K views, I'd have more subs, LOL. My Escape videos continue to get views... apparently there aren't many videos for Escapes.

How TF can you turn "turn the chuck backwards until it clicks" into eight minutes of "content"? Must get paid by the word.

That is pretty neat tho. I have some really old cordless drills, a Milwaukee and a few Makita's (batteries went poopoo) I don't use anymore I'll have to check that out. Just my impacts are cordless. I do most drilling with them with detachable Makita drill chuck..that thing is excellent. It's 100% metal and strong. Other than that, I still use the Millwaukee corded drills for heavy drilling if need be. Can't let those go to waste....too nice and smooth lol.

Good to know tho!

Got all my brake parts in yesterday.
Just need someone to stop by and "pump me up"
I hope I don't have a bad caliper, one gravity bleed and the other has nothing dripping out of it.
And of course, it's the brand new one, not the rebuild.
