1.) Towed the 81 Westy about 100 miles with my 92 Toyota pickup. Almost passed me by coming down the Sunol Grade into San Jose 2.) Towed the same 81 Westy about 7 miles with my SO's Dodge 1500... with the parking brake on. It felt like I was towing something but not enough to know that brakes were smokin'. With the parking brake off, you never knew you were towing anything. tim in san jose |
