agpete just cause u have 2000 posts and are a premium member doesn't mean u can be a dick. kim was just meaning take it to the shop cause most are free and u will find out exactly whats wrong with it without searching for the parts and wasting money on something thats still good.
509, post count doesn't mean anything. You have 500+ posts and been here 10 months, while I have 2,000+ over the last 5+ years. (Obviously, you've commented more than me in a shorter time frame.) BUT, even before the 2007 TRS server switch & hacking, I had thousands of posts in the 5-6 years before THAT. Truth be told, guys like Mark, DG, RobertC, Bobby_Walter, JSpafford, and RSH have significantly more posts than both of us combined (10,000+). How's the content and quality of each post? Are you helping someone fix a truck problem or throwing up random comments?
Who actually pays attention to post count, anyways? The guys that have been around TRS recognize each other.
I'm not being a dick. I just don't like it when people comment in a "help thread" and people just throw in their personal anecdotes.
Again, the reason people post a question like that is to receive guidance and advice how to fix it themselves, without spending money on a service that can be easily fixed. OR, maybe, it's his only truck / form of transportation to work, insurance will not pay for a rental, and it's a minor sound that is not putting anyone at risk.
It's stuff like this that keep TRS a good, high quality website. Of course, the OP can take the problem to a shop.
The reason I'm a premium member is only because I wanted the banner on my Internet avatar, not because I wanted to support the website monetarily, show my support, or have that awesome window sticker.
Mustard you guys always quibble?
I had a similar noise a while ago...it was the brakes...the rear shoes where binding on the backing plates and the front calipers were binding on the slider pins...a bit of grease goes a long way on brake parts...
Or maybe you bought the forward only brake parts...they are not meant to be used in reverse at all...they will clunk approximately ten times before failure...so I hope you've been counting the clunks...
Mark, what happens at the end of the detonating sequence? Does it turn into scrap pile, also referred to as a Chevy?
10 clunk, 9 clunk, 8 clunk...
He should have paid extra for the dual directional brakes.
I'm releshing in the moment reading this conversation...
Mayon-aise a lotta puns goin' on 'round here.
