    So who makes these up? YouTube Influencers or something like that? GAL means Get a Life but to keep in line with the LOL theme it could mean Gafaw a Little!

    See! That appears to be insulting me by calling me feminine. Soon there will be a whole new language. Have you seen some of the new words added to the dictionary lately?

    And I actually used to think LOL meant Lots of Laughs

    Don't get me started on acronyms. It took me a long time to figure out what SMH stood for. I thought I was being insulted! Again Google saved me, or them really. I have only recently caved because of all the kids and grandkids I have. I'm still stuck waay back when I got a pager and was thrilled...

    Something I discovered when I was searching for a new diagnostic tool is the new cars have an automatic electronic parking brake. You put it in park and it automatically sets the parking brake. The problem with this is that if your battery dies or something goes haywire in the electronic setting...

    Rear Wheel Squawk

    Oh trust me we had that talk several times already, including the one before we even started. But he's ADD so I kinda have to keep reminding him. I pulled over one day because I heard a strange sound I thought was coming from my bike. Turns out he was making "motorcycle sounds" inside his full...

    Rear Wheel Squawk

    The worst for me is backing both of them out of the garage. My wife rides too. But it kills my knees! I started packing our 10yr old grandson and since he's still learning he readjusted and turned to see where Grandma was as I was coming to a stop on an angled road. About went down. We had a...

    Rear Wheel Squawk

    Right behind ya! Be 68 in July. Broke my back twice and have arthritis fused vertebrae in my neck. My knees are shot too. I live on more pain killers than any normal person should. Still wrench on the vehicles and the 2 Harleys as much as I can. Buy I really pay for it!

    Rear Wheel Squawk

    Well this should be good for a chuckle....I'm too old for this stuff! I was in the process of replacing the parking brake shoes and upgrading the hardware and while I was there did the disc pads too. In the process of lying on my side trying to get torque spec on the caliper bracket bolts...

    Okay back to more serious stuff for a moment. Does anyone have the torque specs for the brake caliper, bracket, and guide pins for my '05 Yukon? Also, I know the bracket bolts are assembled with yellow thread lock. Should I use blue loctite?

    You guys are hilarious. Don't most vehicles come with a dash light that tells you it's on?

    Waaay back in the early 80's I had a young lady that worked at the plant I was Production Mgr for. I watched her drive in and park her 65 Pontiac in the parking spots that were slightly downhill. She just threw it into park and the car bounced back and forth. Back in those day they had the...

    My wife sometimes uses my Ram 2500 and hauls our 6x12 cargo trailer. She refurbs furniture. We live on a hill and she can't back the trailer uphill into our driveway so she has me do it. I go out to meet her and the truck and trailer are pointing downhill so she pushes the parking brake on and...

    I think the worst thing you can do to a transmission is not use the parking brake. LOL! I see them bouncing off the "Park" pawl all the time.

    I thought technology was supposed to advance! This is really a poor design. It not even an emergency brake. There is no manual or automatic adjustment to them, and they had to update the bottom clip in order to keep the shoe from flopping out and dragging inside the drum.

    I swear there is no access through the backing plate. It's at the top on this one and the cable goes in there but no hole. I wish there was one.

    You brought up a couple good points. I guess I was just needing someone smart like you to point them out. Thanks!
