    Spongy brakes, brake light on

    Update: no more issues, the fluid has stayed at the same level and the light went off when we left the venue this evening.

    No Brakes!!! Dangerous ride home.

    Texas used to be like that too.

    Calling all Escalade/Denali experts!

    As far as I know, all the standard Chevy/GMC "torpedo" consoles have that style lid. I think the idea at the time was to have a place to put maps or papers in there. The Escalade/Denali console storage compartment has a totally different shape. I have one at the shop building that's incomplete...

    Spongy brakes, brake light on

    Fluid was low on Rawhide, so I bought some and topped it off. The light is still on after doing this, but the pedal feels good. We're in the middle of the trip to Austin for Lone Star Roundup....

    1991 C1500 in Florida

    Fixed it for you! Seriously, sometimes it seems like it all hits at once. We've got the best show of the year, coming up this weekend, to get ready for, and of course there's lots of stuff to do, and to prepare. And the truck has to be ready, or nobody's going anywhere.... So this lock issue...

    1991 C1500 in Florida

    Yup that would be the "perfect" Burb! My initial idea with Rawhide was to get a camper shell on the bed, so I would have the covered cargo capacity of a Burb with the second row seat folded down, but still have the ability to carry 3 of us like in the Burb, and have the one ton capability. Of...

    Bowtie Brody's Namesake 96 454

    The guy who bought the F150 King Ranch supercrew from me a couple of years ago, borrowed an equipment trailer to haul it to his place the other side of Lufkin (3 hours from Houston). He didn't realize the side railing was gonna be a problem, until we started to drive it up on the trailer! Had to...

    I'll put it on the list for the next time I go. Hopefully next Wednesday. Went out today but only had time to get stuff for Rawhide. Planning on going back to get some more goodies....

    Issue with door slop “When doors Shut”Combination worn latches or weather strip?

    If the pins were bad for a while, the striker is probably also worn. The door hinges may be slightly bent, but the door jamb itself may be slightly out of whack. Truck bodies are like cardboard boxes; if you move them enough they're gonna get outta shape.
