Well I couldn't get rid of the truck, it's too close to being paid off plus I still have a "love" for it so it's going to stay. Found out today my passenger side rear caliper is sticking intermittently which is causing my shake. I knew I should have replaced it when I did my drivers side a couple months ago.

Yup these brakes suck so bad. I'm really getting fed up with it. It's the definition of poor engineering plain and simple. It will be my 3rd damn caliper on that one spot! I'm bull****

As much blocking as Smoke has done over the years though I dont think he has any reason to be mad. Logano was going for the win on a restart.

Smoke proved he is a wimp imo. Logano proved he's a man. Hamlin proved he wont give anyone room in any siruation and that he holds the throttle down to the floor until he realizes he's about to t-bone the wall. All this from Fontana the snoozer. lol

All I ever did on my 05 was pads. Never a problem.

With about 150,000 miles I should expect some problems to arise. In reality it hasn't really given me too many problems. It's really just been normal wear/tear parts with the miles and age on it. Even at that it hasn't been too bad. A 10 year old vehicle is going to have problems. Once I get the caliper replaced it will be in better shape than it was when I bought it with 105,000 miles on it 2.5 years ago.
