Time for an update on the truck!

Well, got a really good deal on a set of wheels and tires and had them put on but before that I had to have a brake job done to the front end. All new pads, calipers and hoses because the drivers side disc would not fully release causing it to get really hot and start smoking and also the passenger side would pull to that side whenever you hit the brake.

Everything to the brakes was done but it still if you push the brake hard it will pull to the right but at least they aren't smoking haha.

But for the bad news, my mechanic said I need new pitman and idler arms put on because the right tire is very very loose so that will need to be changed very soon.

I'll get some new pics of the truck up tomorrow since its dark out.
