Nope, can't afford to be out on the road pulling loads like than with badly worn tires. When I changed the first set, they were down to about a 16th inch tread left. Ones I have on now are about the same, just in time for new ones before snow.
I've pulled the brakes off myself 3 times now thinking each time that they had to be ready for new ones, even had new ones ready to put in. But when I held them up to the old ones, they were the same. I find it hard to believe too, but it's true. The last time I started to see some wear on the rotors, and I've heard that ceramic will wear rotors before they do. Might be true.
Everything else is true. I have nothing to gain by lying, and I'm not that kind of person. I'm surprised too, and thankful.
I'm going to put plugs in and a new belt this weekend, just can't stand to drive it anymore with the old ones. My last van blew some coil packs, but it was used when I bought it. I've heard the computer will compensate for resistance in old polus by sending more voltage through them until the coils go.
As far as the tranny, I've never had it in the shop. About 20,000 miles ago I dropped the pan and put a new filter in, but that's it. The only thing I can figure is that Lucas is helping a lot. It's Chevy's newer transmission, I guess they made a better one. Runs on Dextron 6 now. Expensive stuff, but must be a little better. Not burnt at all.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
