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 - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
