I heard a loudass grinding noise and noticed that the stick wasn't getting into position. I put it back in 5th and noticed that I was trying to shove it in reverse. |

It was a Ford E-350, so basically every part of the vehicle is gigantic and very heavy. Well anyway, my dad was checking the brakes in the garage because they were past due (100+k miles without ever being changed) because there was a loud grinding sound whenever the brakes were applied. Turned out that the pads had completely worn down (especially the pads on the outward faces of the rotors) and literally cut deep jagged grooves into the rotors. So my dad had to order new rotors as well as pads and we had to quickly change them over a weekend because my family can't fit into any of our other cars (or in our case, two small cars won't work because two of them aren't drivable right now and my dad commutes in the other one). The calipers on that van were so heavy that it took both me and my dad just to take one off. The bolts on the rotors were also rusted so we had to beat the crap out of the rotors with mallets to loosen them. But we got it done. We don't have that van anymore because the bearings in the front wheels needed replacement, we couldn't deal with it at home, and a mechanic fix was going to be like $900. My family drove to Illinois to get another E-350 and I got to stay home all day. --- Quote from: TheTurtorn on February 23, 2015, 04:38:34 PM ---Huge double supercharger blower higher that your roof gets you all the bitches in the 'hood [img]http://www.pontiaczone.com/forum/vbpgimage.php?do=full&p=1665[/i mg] --- End quote --- My dad's friend has a '68 Firebird. It has a bad green custom paint job on it and a lot of his own mods on it. I rode with him one day to drive to an annual BMW event that we go to and it was totally awesome. He drifted through an intersection and a Mustang driver took it as a challenge. So we raced B) |
