I got the parking brake fixed up, it holds on a incline easily. I almost got everything perfectly functional besides a oil leak somewhere around the filter, I thought it was the housing under the filters but I was wrong, Im starting to think its the whole housing leaking.
Off topic, I turned...
I'm getting to change the cable, I just need to adjust it and put on the top spring on the upper shoe. Has anyone ever dummy proof the parking brake? As in dummy proof, I mean some indicator as to whether or not its applied. Its extremely easy to forget since the brake handle is literally hidden...
I get that on the newer Duramax since their thermostat open up at around 210-220 degrees, the thermostat on the 6.5s open up at 195 and still climb all the way up to 220 degrees, even with normal driving in fairly cool weather. I've heard quite a lot of chevy truck users with the 6.5 say it runs...
Make sense, these gauges are known to be off, I have to tap my oil gauge for it to show the correct pressure. The cooling stack is almost brand new, I replaced it about 6 months ago
Yea, next time my cadillac fail, I'm going with that solution, but are you guys all comfortable with 220 degrees operating temperature? Even with my aluminum radiator and paradox cooling kit, my temperature stay at 220 degrees. One thing though, the fan barely turns on with these upgrades, I...
This was slightly my plan; I was going to use dual fans to turn on at 180-190 Degrees, but I was going to keep the regular hydraulic fan connected to be a backup for when the electric fans can't keep up or if they fail. The fan I have is 2215CFM for each one, so in total its 4430 CFM, from...
Haven't check the voltage in a long time, if I remember, it had no voltage going to it, its been about 2 or 3 months since this one burnt out, I'm just starting to address it again since cold weather is coming
This is going to be my 3rd cadillac valve & TDM, I've had them burn out twice, my first one lasted around 3 weeks after I installed my aluminum radiator and the 2nd one lasted a month, does anyone know what amps the cadillac valve & TDM put out? I would like to put a fuse or circuit breaker in...
Bump
Anyone got pictures of ramps they built? I'm looking to make a ramp that I can roll a dolly on, I have a winch in the bed so I can even winch the dolly on the ramp as well. At the exact most, I'll have 800-1000Ibs on them. My plan is to go with some treated wooden ramps at 10 feet long.
Seems like my issue is the cable, the pads still have a lot of life left and the brake doesn't even move with the lever. My guess is that the cable is broke somewhere inside of the hose.
I never thought of that, I appreciate the advice, I will totally fix the parking brake, I believe it's just the cable that's stuck possibly, the brake was perfect not long ago but I accidentally and drove on it a few times. I've never parked it with the rod but had just came up with the theory...
