Scott Btdt and it was me not wife.Here is what I would do.Take wife out to fancy restaurant buy her a rose or two and a card that says honey it was my fault.Of course she knowns your are lying but will love you for the thought.Now my shameful story.Me and a friend loaded 65 boxes of kitchen floor tile in my van about 2000 Lb's. I drove 35 miles home with emer brake on about one or two clicks. And yes the brake light was on.But me and him were in another world I guess.After cooking supper on the drums, I put the van in reverse and slamed on the brakes about 15x and the pedal came back up.If you emer brake was on more than mine you might have glazed the drums and shoes.You ok unless the drums have a blue look to them. Just take some 220 sand paper and go over the drums and shoes.Now scott I just love letting people know my stupid side so put it to good use and it will be well worth it. Marcus |
