I was originally going to rebuild my rear park brake calipers but Roy talked me out of it as they were moving freely and showed no signs of leakage. So we put it on the hoost and had a good look over. All is good. That being said i have fixed my thumping noise. I am pretty sure it was the rear cvs. Now that they have grease in them and new bots i have not hear the noise since. Granteed we have not had any warm weather so it is a heat/ temp issue it may return but i thinks its good. It is running too cool though. I rarely goes over 170. That will be my next thing to check on. Oh and maybe 40's Lol

A thought for next Saturday. Make a list so we do not forget what is needed in the trucks.
