    My connector always vibrates loose on my headset and the next thing I know silence.

    I didn't say I had a gps was just showing what others had found using a gps. I personally would not own a gps. What fun is that? My whole point of riding is to go places I've never been and to stop and ask for directions if needed. I have met some really nice people and friends that way of course they are exceptions to that also. I could see living in a city or from the city possibly needing one. Where I'm from you turn by that big old tree on the corner, problem is the tree's been gone for 20 years lol.

    Looks good!! There is no comparison in lighting from the gold-wing to a venture. You can help the venture but still no where as good as the gold-wing IMHO.

    Yep, Wish I had 70 degree temps could have rode longer. We got in 505 miles Saturday upper 30's to start to low 60's for a high. We rode 250 one way just to eat lunch with just a touch longer to get home lol.

    Got around 500 miles of riding in today 38 degrees to start 61 the high east TN west NC area.

    Guess it depends on the person. I do it around every third year or 75,000 miles or so. If I changed every 26,000 it would be every year or real close to it. It is not a have to thing but if trying to get all the old out that you can then pull the plug my .

    Both the wife and I's daily drivers were bought for gas mileage, not a Prius or eco box. She drives 100 miles a day and I do 75 miles so it does count.

    I have used this place with good results so far. http://www.forwardair.com/prepaid/MCmainpage.jsp

    If more of a hissing type sound it's the HH pads. If you had stock pads before it just takes some getting used to the HH sound.

    It's recessed a little so you can't get a wrench to it. You can get a socket on it but then no ratchet will fit exhaust in the way. The socket wrench will work along with a socket and vise-grips.

    you use stock pads or the hh pads get the anti-rattle clip under both pins?

    The diesel don't care if pulling a trailer or not, the gas engine didn't care either. They both pulled about the same, the fuel economy is what factored my purchase. If I was just driving a truck for a daily driver and pulling a trailer/camper a few times a year, I may have went gas and a 1/2 ton. The 3/4 tons are more geared toward working in my opinion and are not as fuel efficient as the 1/2 tons. That is why I rented one of each for a week and drove them as I would before making my decision. With higher fuel and maintenance cost of a diesel it might not pay out for the few times a year person. Working on a shipping company to haul the stuff but it's a on demand type haul if they can do what's needed I will go back to a newer 1/2 ton sometime in the future.

    Basically the same as a car just smaller nothing special. I use 600 grit wet sandpaper if it needs it. The piston runs on the o-ring so the bore of the caliper doesn't have to be perfect unlike a wheel cylinder.

    I rented the truck I thought I wanted for a week. 2000 chevy 2500hd 4x4 xtra cab gas 6.0L. It got around 14-15mpg empty until I hooked up one of the trailers with a 8500lb load. It got around 9-10mpg with the load and 12-13mpg coming back empty around 2500lb trailer. The next week rented a chevy 2500hd 4x4 xtra cab 6.6L diesel. It got around 18-20mpg empty, I did the exact same trip with it same trailer, weight etc. It got around 16-17mpg with the trailer and coming back 21mpg. It was the truck I bought and still have, it's over 500,000 miles now. One transmission, injectors and pump rebuild later. I didn't want a diesel to start with either. I pull a trailer at least once a week, it cost me close to $500 renting the trucks but I've saved more than that driving a diesel.

    No probably not hard to say, few '10's here. I drove mine a few years before wearing out the cloth, $500 to reupholster just the two front seats ouch. My son mentioned pull a part we went and found a great choice to look at. Think we got it all out of a '05 or '06 denali, to my surprise the seats plugged in the factory harness already in my truck. You will like the heated seats I didn't think it would make much of a difference to me but I kinda like them.

    I changed mine out years ago 2000 silverado xtra-cab, I pulled everything from pull a part salvage from a later model. I got all the leather interior with heated seats, overhead console, carpet, bose sound etc. Basically gutted the truck for $300. If I decide to keep it which is more than likely, I will do it again this spring.
