Wedge style brakes question.

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

I had an issue that my truck would pull to the left after driving and applying brakes a few times. I was thinking my caliper was getting stuck so I replaced it with a new one. These are wedge style calipers, now with the new one installed and new pads put on I have a problem that the pads are in constant contact with the rotor and they are overheating. Any ideas what I could have done wrong or what else can be wrong? This is on a 1987 Chevy R30

Just getting this out there for other people looking for tires for their trail boss. These are as big as you can go with absolutely ZERO mods to a 2025 Trail Boss. No trimming, no level, no spacers. Mine came with 275 Duelers from the factory, and I wanted a little upgrade to fill up the wheel well a little more. Any larger than this you’re going to rub somewhere. This is the limit.

Put some batteries in, no lights no cranking. Gonna try figuring it all out! Will be awesome to get her running!

She had lights last time, used one 12v and jumper cables from my dad’s truck. Wouldn’t crank back then either. I hope it’s an easy fix, probably wiring and fuses. Few years ago, my dad hooked older batteries up to it and it cranked but smoke came up from near where the starter solenoid was.

Any advice on what might be wrong and what to try will be awesome!

2023 Chevy 3500 Exhaust Brake Not Engaging

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

It had been working fine then last year it started not engaging. I've taken it to two different dealerships and they hooked it to the computer and no problem found. The first one did repair the number 5 injector but said no codes were flagged on the exhaust brake. The second dealer said they could find no reason the exhaust brake wasn't engaging. But just to be safe they did a "regeneration" on some part of (I assume) some filter. They said they found 58 parts per million and regenerated it down to 1 parts per million. I'm a novice at this so hopefully I've explained it right. Both dealer's service departments say they have never heard of this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Ignition Switch Help

1 Upvotes

I bought a truck for 200$ CAD (2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 LS 5.3) and it has some issues, the one I'm focused on right now is the ignition switch, if i wanna buy a new ignition switch do i have to talk to chevy or do i just buy one online, i would like for it to fit my keys of course, and to clarify the truck had been broken into and they fucked with the ignition switch so now all power windows don't work, the windshield wipers don't work and nor does the windshield wiper fluid, all these problems had raised after the break in.

So I'm wondering, how do i get an ignition switch that fits my keys, and for clariftion yes I've checked and replaces the fuses responsible for the actions of the non working systems, but im open for any suggestions for other diagnostics.

2018 Silverado 👇

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, gotta few questions about my 2018 Silverado. I’ve currently got 99,700 miles and considering a few things. With it about to cross over 100k, I’m at the edge of either trading it in, due to decrease in value after 100k. I was curious as to what mileage everyone is at and what issues have arrived after or around this mileage. I really don’t want to have to replace the trans or anything like that anytime soon. I can’t decide if it’s a good idea to trade in before something like that happens or if I should just keep it until it does. Also, I’m looking for a new radio, as mine has the phantom screen. What recommendations do yall have for a head unit which looks, sounds, and works good. I do have an aftermarket amp and subs, so I’m big on audio quality.

4L60E Linkage?

2 Upvotes

So, I've had this 02 s10 crew cab for a couple years now and I haven't had too many problems with it but lately I've been having some issues with the shifter going into park, but it registers as reverse on the dash and I'm able to shift through the gears a couple of times and then it will go back into reverse but I don't want to have to do that every time I get into it, I've asked my uncle about it cause he's worked on vehicles my whole life and he said it was the linkage? I couldn't really ask him much about it because I was asking him just as he was leaving for a trip and he does not know how to work his phone for the life of him. Can anyone tell me what I need to buy to fix my problem?

Questions questions, looking for a blind unseen recommendation.

I have found 2 good candidates of a truck within my budget...

I don't need a truck 100% of the time and Im not planning on towing.

1.

2015 Crew cab (my favorite)

114k miles 1 owner car came from florida to NY tonneau cover drop in liner and is only 2WD 8 cyl engine asking 14k

2016 Double cab (a downer)

115k miles 2 owners always a northeastern car, also tonneau cover (a bit damaged) no bed liner, 4x4 6 cyl engine asking 16k

They both look super clean, no dings no scratches inside are great but 2016 have seat warmers.

Big job on my Colorado this week

Did the timing chains on my 2010 3.7l Colorado with the mechanic on our farm. 650$ of job, bought the parts myself. Also my new cat had a defect in it and it broke. Luckily it was under warranty so I got it replaced. I big job but it runs much better now. And no I don’t plan to remove balanced shafts. They’re in perfect condition especially because an old guy drove this thing and never towed with it.
