  3. Which Brakes?

    Well, the brakes got changed. Took all day because of having to take several trips to OReillys to buy stuff that my grandfather saw the need to do. Brakes didnt even get done correctly... no anti-seize, no brake grease, the bearings are tightened further than they were to begin with it, the brakes dont even any better stopping power, and it sounds like the brakes are constantly in contact with the rotor (you can free spin the wheel and HEAR the brake pad grinding). I hate it when I ask someone to help with something I know how to do and they make the decisions as to what to do and not do.

    Flooring the brake doing 30MPH doesnt even lock up the brakes. I just kinda coasted to a stop...

    Spin the rotor while tighten the castle nut on the hub until tight. Then back off about a 1/4 turn next install the cotter pin. You don't want the bearing to be too tight or they will bind up and not spin freely. It sounds like you need to bleed the brakes, or your brake fluid is contaminated. My bet is there is air in the lines that's why you have no braking power.

    Well I'm hoping that changing the brakes will stop the squealing, but if it was just the brakes, wouldnt I only hear the squealing when I brake, not anytime I'm coasting?

    And another issue I'm having is that the truck jerks to the right from time to time. It started with just the steering wheel doing it without the whole truck jerking, now you can feel the truck jolt to one side and the steering wheel doesnt jerk as far as it did before. What would cause that?

    I'd repack the wheel bearing while change the brakes, cause the sqealing could be coming from them. Might as well, it only takes a couple minutes. I soak em in gas to clean them up, then pack em with grease.

  11. Rear view mirror takes a big chunk of glass.

    The AC in my truck recently quit working, so I've been rolling with my windows down. Something I usually never do, well any ways with the windows down my bass seems a lot louder. Twice the bass has taken my rear view mirror down with a chunk of glass out of the windshield with it. My question is does this qualify for the bass broke my windshield? I know it's a dumb question, but it just poped into my head. My system is two T2 10's subs 1500bd amp in a 01 Frontier extended cab.

  16. Different sized rear batteries..

    Different sizes are OK as long as they are the same brand and type battery. Ideally they should be the same size but different sizes will still work.

    The main issue is that when they are of different types, one may have a slightly higher resting voltage than the other. Even if this is a few milivolts, the higher batt will charge the lower batt, when that drops down then it will feed back off of the lower batt. And this happens over and over and over and the plates heat up and cause the batts to wear down prematurely.

    While you have a very valid point, IMHO if you have all brand new batteries, this doesn't really happen.

    Not true, Certain AGM batts may rest at 12.8 while certain wet cells may rest at 12.6. Even brand new, fully charged. DONT MIX TYPES
