    Rear caliper

    pcb, I wish that was the case. I can adjust the brake and pull the parking brake a few times and it will just back itself out completely. If I wanted to, I could adjust the pads daily. Based on your picture, could I back the adjustment screw out completely and put some loctite on the threads to...

    Rear caliper

    I've replaced both of my rear calipers and I do not have a "favorite." However, on the barake pad adjuster on both calipers backs itself out, leaving me with no parking brake. I probably got rebuilt calipers from O'Reilly.

    how to tell if chipped

    If you pull up the carpet on the passenger side there is a little hole under where the passenger's feet would sit. If you see any part of XCF2 then you have an mp3 ecu. Keeps you from having to dig the whole thing out.

Now i've gotta find a connector somewhere, and i've got the same problem the westerboyz has with the...
