    Time that should be spent cracking the whip in your thread. I’ll allow the exception, it looks delicious. (Scurries off to post something).

    Was this close to the bottom of a grade? That certainly could help explain what happened. No excuse though.

    I picked up rubber feed bowls for my chains (great idea whoever mentioned it), but after 3 weeks in the box I found that I'll have to figure out something to keep them from bouncing around. The dog just sees food bowls and had to be comforted with a day old, half eaten Cinnabon.

    Also, one of the symptoms of over-heating brakes beside just the glazing, is that the drum expands further reducing what little effectiveness may remain.

    A freightliner that I drove (about an 88 I think) had the break pedal and treadle valve located on the firewall instead of the floor. I'm not sure if there was any linkage, but I suppose if the pivot pin were to break or come out it would be disastrous.
