If I want to quote and post, takes forever for the box to open. Takes so long I decide to move on. If I use the Quick Post, it takes forever for my post to show up. Nothing quick about it.

Nope....I'm just just someone who lurks in forums and watches their demise from the techs messing with them too much.....

Nice day down here in Houston -- going to take the Ranger out for a little run in the country this morning and them grab some BBQ for lunch at a little place I like out towards Waller.

This afternoon is already booked making cranberry sauce and dressing for the big feast tomorrow......

Okay, decided to get up and do something. A few days back, my dealer told me I needed new brake pads and rotors. Decided to take a look for myself.

As I suspected, they look just fine. Plenty of pad left, and only minimal rotor grooving. However, I did notice this on one pad:

Thoughts Pat? Bad enough to replace? Or perhaps I can just sand it a bit. Again, no vibration or poor braking performance.
