Help a NOOB - A continuing saga

[Steeveedee]

If I was on your side of the continent, I could lend a hand. It just grinds my gears that stuff like this happens and the owner can't get decent help.

If only! Appreciate the thought though.

Incidentally, I am going to have to get some pics up of the whole truck, because MAN it's almost a clone of the one in your pic.

I will get some more pictures up. Thanks for the encouragement and welcome.

Thanks all!

Welcome to the greatest web site on the Internet!
Man, I wish I was closer to you. Hate is a strong word, but I HATE when a shop takes advantage of a customer. It's painfully obvious to me that you took your truck to a shop that has "parts hangin monkeys" that rely on the ECM to tell them "what to fix", as opposed to ACTUALLY having the knowledge to DIAGNOSE.

Steeveedee,

I'm glad there's guys like you out here on this forum. I'm at my whit's end with a rear brake drum job I'm working on on my C20 and would love to have a volunteer to lend me a hand. I'm a rookie at doing brakes on this truck, even though I changed the motor myself. I never in a million years would've thought I'd change the motor but I did with the help of friends and family. It's reassuring to see people like yourself that feel the pain of struggling gear-heads, so thank you for understanding. I'd fly you and your family out to MN for a semi fabulous vacation out here if I had the money. Haha!

There might be someone in your area.
I say this link somewhere.
You might get lucky and only cost you a beer or three!

No such luck in my neighborhood. Thanks for the attempt though.
