My brakes heated up to the point of odor and starting to go using 2 gear to get into Shelter Cove on the Lost Coast in Northern California. Had to power shift to 1 [2 wheel drive van] and get it stopped to let them cool down. Same thing coming out of the Sierras towards Porterville in a syncro. Lots of continuos braking and they were gone. Mike Putting in G60's in front now and would like disk rear brakes as well. |
