I may be able to extend it's pitiful life a wee bit by compressing it... this rig is slated for some power slotted rotors on all four corners... just haven't got the bucks right now... or the time... my Benz needs a water pump... my WJ needs brakes, my SJ needs to be reassmebled, my willys isn't here yet, my Jimmy needs a buyer... :) Hey, another weird thing happened... on my daughter's '91 Grand Am I had it running for a long time... forgot I had started it. ;) and when I came out the brake light was on constantly... even when I shut the car off... I pulled the fuse... suspect taht the brake pedal switch may be messing up... cars simply do not like sitting for a year when their owners go off to china to teach english. :) john On Sun, 13 Feb 2005, Damian Shaver wrote: >-->>From my experiences...and I am only 25 years young, it is time for the >-->new caliper.
