Me?? Rich???!!! I wish. I just don't see the point in wasting that time when I could be doing somthing else, like I donno, using the truck what it was made for....like wheelin it! BTW I don't use $15 dollar brake pads either, I agree with OOP'S on that one, EXCEPT that I find that pads at the dealer are expensive. You can get decent Raybestos shoes at Checker for about $40 bucks and they WORK FINE!!! drum breaks do so little to slow your rig down I don't feel the need to go super expensive on them, now I will buy OEM pads from BAP Imports for my discs, those are a little more important. Don't get me wrong, the rear drums are important too but much less so.

Have fun seeing it boil (thats that's what it does) and let us know how it works out. I just wouldn't be very comfortable heating the crap out of my brake shoes, thinking the friction material might come off the backing plate....that propane torch has got to be a hell of a lot hotter than your breaks should EVER get.


oh. BTW d00d. its hrd to undrstnd
wut ur tryn to typ. mayb im jus
