Well a couple days ago decided I should change out the rear rotors (105k on the factory parts) on the Dak and while I was back there also decided to change the diffy juice.
Got a set of powerslots and some AutoZone duralast gold pads, pull the rotors and go to put the new ones on. Passenger side works fine, as I put the driver's side on the parking brake lining falls off the shoe. It's almost 2000 (8pm for the non-military time folks out there) so I call AZ sure we can get them for you in about 4 days, and they will only cost you a pittance at $68, well that is a non-starter, so I call Advance and they tell me they're about $15 with a $15 core fee and they'll be there the next morning. Next day reassemble the brakes, no problem, I should adjust the parking brakes a little tighter, but that's a job for the future..............
Pop the lid on the pumpkin and instead of 2 qts of nice oily oil, I've got about 3 qts of milkshake................. Now if this was a 4wd and I'd been playing in the water I wouldn't be too worried about it but it's a 2wd and I don't recall going through any deep water. I will resist the urge to make a Terrible Tom joke here as well.....
Hose the sucker out with lacquer thinner and button it back up, and I'm back on the road. The question is where did all the water come from????
Also noted that I have a peg leg 8.25, which I need to upgrade to whatever the Dodge word for posi is. I can get a truetrack from DTS for $475 and then swap my ring over wondering if that is a good price or if someone on the list has similar available for less?
