You should actually manually adjust the rear brakes. Alot of "automatic" adjusters don't really work that well, like he said. I also had the issue with cross drilled rotors cracking between the holes. If i had to do over again I'd go with slotted. I could of just gotten a bad brand. But then, you don't need brakes. They're just extra weight. You make better time without them. :ok1:

We took the truck in again, and the mechanic said it had the wrong type of Fluid in the Master Cylinder. He suspected Dot 5 and said Dot 3 was what we needed. He said the Dot 5 probably did some damage to my brake lines and wheel cylinders, and since his shop was the ones who worked on it last, all the work was on him.

He wouldn't take a dime from us. He said to use Slotted Rotors as well. The truck has a big job coming up towing to BMW's up from San Diego, I hope everything works right. I'd hate to hit the brakes and not be able to stop until I got to Oregon :w2:
