they could have gone farther if one of the pads didnt fail prematurely. one of boners more intelligent quips is this the best that you can do needle dick. if you actually knew how to read you would have say that the other three bonded pads still had about 1/3 of their material left and if the glue didnt fail on the forth they would still be in the truck. perhaps if you had 1/3 the intelligence of a normal human you would have understood that. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

actually you dont need to remove anything to adjust the rear brakes. there is a way to do it by just crawling underneath. ill have to crawl under again to tell you exactly where the access port is. but anyway back to brake pads...ive just ordered pads from ebc and have been informed that these are clean quiet and are performance pads. my biggest concern is quiet and clean. anyone here ever use ebc pads on their 2500 -- ------------------------------------------------------------ laszlo almasi carolina watercraft works inc. raleigh nc 27604 919-212-2555 loballeng@mindspring.com we all have our ghosts...take care of yours my plate is full i just installed them too along with a new set or rotors and while the do work well they are a bit cost prohibitive. i am beginning to doubt if my rear brakes are doing anything at all when pulling the drum at 93000 and the shoes still look like new. now i just have to figure what the hell is wrong with the rear abs that keeps turning the damn light on. i found it necessary to adjust the rear brakes by hand at each oil change. makes a world of difference. while this may be true it is a pita to remove the drums at every oil change to adjust the brakes and since there is no visible wear on then anyway i dont know if doing that would have any effect. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

tbone wrote how lame. as usual instead of actually running on bushs record you need to attack the other guy. how dumb can you get.....every time you make a stupid comment like this you are simple pointing a finger at yourself. then how come that is all that you are doing. every time i ask you to name just one thing in 3 1/2 years of bush all you can do is make insults and spin it back to kerry. perhaps that is because bush doesnt have a record worth looking at. better than kerry who has none. im still waiting for the accomplishments of kerry that you keep avoiding. cant you come up with at least one thing he has done......lol.... of course not. this is exactly what i said above. no answer from you just spin. pretty sad considering the man you love so much has been president for 3 1/2 years and all you can do is yell and spin. what accomplishments did bush have prior to becoming president and what hole have you been living in.... that doesnt answer the question and we are all still waiting. the fact is that it really doesnt matter. to you it doesnt because you would simply spin and lie about it anyway out of pure hatred of the man. yet more spin. i dont hate the man. you just want to spin it that way so that you can try to avoid answering the question without looking like a fool. the only thing that does matter is what he did while he is president and that equates to nothing of value. only if value to everyone like yourself equates to taxing the hell out of everyone and expanding government ah so there it isthe lower taxes and small government bs again. the problem is that it is pure crap. except for the wealthy just about all of the money and many times more that was returned from his tax cuts get eaten up by increased costs of living due to those very tax cuts. then there is the expanding government bs. if things like enron didnt happen there would be no real need to expand the government but they do and so it does. all shrinking it does is to make it easier to corrupt and easier for scum to rip off the american citizen with little to no reduction in expenses. so you are saying that bushs accomplishments are a higher cost of living for the average american and less protection from scumbags yea that pretty much wraps it up. roy said it correctly when he once stated that debating politics is a no win situation in a group. just like tbone you cant provide anything to backup anything but still you demand everyone else should. you said that you would vote for lieberman please list his great accomplishments. now since you cant show one damn accomplishment of kerry you want to spin to liberman ......... typical of your trolling bullshit. hahahahahahahahaha you really are funny jerry. what i asked you for is exactly what you say to me every time i asked you to list bushs accomplishments lol. i guess that you either think of yourself as a trolling bullshit artist or your typical spin just backfiired on you your choice. you are the one who keps saying that he is the best man for the job prove it. more trolling bullshit from the expert. more spinning from the spinmaster. i said he was the best choice between he and kerry and he is like it or not. and since you cannot back that up.... where is your proof that kerry is better. my proof is in 3 1/2 years of bush and the sorry state of this country. i dont recall reagan having a stellar record prior to becoming president and yet he is regarded as being one of our great ones. clinton also didnt have much to brag about before becoming president and this country went threw its greatest sustained economic times in its history during his two terms. bush sr was the vice president prior to becoming president and didnt do shit once he got into office. what qualifications did bush jr have before he became president we have elections every 4 years for a reason. we pick who we hope will be the best man for the job except this time but we wont get into that and after 4 years we reassess that decision by the accomplishments made. if they did well we re-elect them for 4 more years and if not we elect someone else. now you want to change that because of your hatred of kerry and any liberal for that matter but too bad. he didnt do a damn thing positive for the average citizen in his first term and needs to go. how long do we have to wait for you to put up or shut up. oh i forgot you dont do that you just demand everyone else does. whether i demand it or not you have yet to ever do it so in this case it is pot kettle black. bush like it or not is running with his record. kerry like it or not is running from his. sorry pal but you got that backwards as usual. if bush were actually running with his record there would be no need to attack kerrys but ill ask again okay so askin
