First pic is looking where the first cable connects to the intermediate cable. Second pic is looking towards the back Third pic is the connection that splits to the left and right tire Fourth pic is the beginning where the cable comes out of the cab

Both cables to the parking brake shoes move in and out without any issues, nothing is rusted in place or broken. There is absolutely no tension on the little arms. Both shoes are adjusted properly to barely let the rotor/drum assembly slide over them. In looking at all the cables underneath...

All ends are connected, the cables will tighten up when the pedal is depressed, but basically all it does is take up the slack. One thought I had was maybe in my firewood gathering era I might have had a branch or something get caught, stretch the cable, and/or broke the adjustment part at the...

I'm original owner and it's the original cables. No one has ever worked on the parking brake system. I do know it worked the first year of it's life because I tried it before signing the papers. LOL

So I know I've been pretty much absent here for a long time. Life went to shit about 4 years ago, but I'm back on my feet again after finally clearing out the last debt my ex left me. May even have to give ol Dave Ramsey a call one of these days. LOL So the Beast, 2005 Silverado 3500 CCLB...

not quite comparing apples to apples as my 05 hasn't even rolled 93,000 miles. original owner, zero problems from the engine or tranny. uses 1 qt per 3,000 miles. can squeeze 12 mpg empty on the highway. normally it's around 10 mpg. working hard is about 8 mpg. don't waste money on...

need to have both high and low pressure to know exactly whats going on and what the outside temperature is at the time of pressure reading. ideally the engine should be running at 2k rpm. you may have a blockage in the system.

My goodness, time flies. So the latest with the explorer. Figured out the engine shake about a month ago. It always helps when a V-6 is actually using all 6 cylinders. It's been a V-5 for who knows how long. New ignition module, spark plugs/wires and this thing is running smooooooth. Gee...

as previously mentioned, electric fence is only as good as how well your grounding set up is. don't cheap out on that part. one job i had years ago was maintain electric fence to keep cattle out of riparian areas. they were all solar setups and when properly grounded they would put out...

what is your reason for not going electric? I use to build a lot of fence and watched a calf go right through a tight 5 line barb wire i had just completed. cattle don't fear barb wire.

sometimes you can luck out on these, people don't know or care. got my 94 explorer a couple months ago for $800. a couple trips to the junkyard and auto parts store and it's running great.

run the other way fast. IMHO.

all depends on what kind of ground you're dealing with. A lot of places around here is too rocky to even put a post in a ground. Lot of jack fence.

can't remembered the last time i washed mine. the rare times i actually drive it I'll hit the washer button to clean the windshield and watch the dust cloud roll off the body as i pick up speed going down the road.

takes extra fluid, but this is what a guy who was part of testing allison told me. drain, refill, drive around a little bit, drain, replace external filter, refill. for all intensive purposes it's about as complete replacement of fluid as you can get.

Dex 6 is not compatible for Allison 1000 tranny. Don't go by what GM says, go by what Allison says. Find a fluid that says TES-295 equivalent. Not necessarily one that says "compatible for allison transmission". Needs that TES-295 approval

X2. can't find dex 3 around here though.

it never ends........

Spent another glorious saturday afternoon wandering the isles of the U pull junkyard. Acquired an assortment of dash parts, bolts, screws, clips, pedal pads, "new" hub, and believe it or not I managed to find a lug wrench and jack crank bar that was still in an explorer. I think mainly because...

I'd balk at reman. just me though. just because one side is bad doesn't mean the other is too. front wheel drive cars will see different torque stress for the two sides, one can see more stress then the other. also check motor mounts. it took awhile before i realized i was eating through...
